Week 3 beading

This week we used bugle beads - the long ones. I loved doing the flowers - each one turns out so different even though I was just changing the seed beads on the ends. I'm getting very hooked!! and my bead collection is growing just cos it can!!!

January UFO

January isn't yet over and I have finished the first UFO - a cobweb quilt top that needed to be quilted (done very basic) and bound. Ryan has claimed it but can't imagine the background will stay white for long!!!

week 2

This week was really good - doing dangly beads and stacks. Some work better than others but great trying different things out. Really enjoying the beading work.

I thought I'd put my samples up from my beading class with Lisa Walton as you can't see the blog we all post to. Am getting hooked with the beads again - so much easier when you get little tips to help make it easier (and that is after the first week!) I'm going to get back into my Aurora quilt - I pulled all the beads out from the very dense seed beads bit and it looks way better (I think).

I haven't started to do my January UFO - have to find some wadding as the first one is a quilting and binding job - hopefully by the end of the year I'll have at least 12 UFO's finish but I'll probably have another 12 added to the pile! That is my goal for the year!!
