Chapter 8 - Beads, Beads & more Beads!
Found it really hard to get going on the bead sampler and spent ages avoiding it. I didnt want a regular shaped grid so marked out a swirly part of spirals and hoped the beads would enhance the shape. I began to enjoy it as I progressed ....but now I've had enough of beads for a while and so has the hoover! The fabric colour hasn't come out too well in the photos....2nd photo down probably shows the nearest true colour.

Hallo Maggie,
I love your samples! For someone who hated the idea of beading you managed pretty well didn't you.
Merry Christmas to you too
Gorgeous samplers. Really inventive and everything seems to work together. I have been enjoying the beading more than I ever thought I would and it's quicker than I expected. Will update my blogs soon. Have had flu and ma's been in hospital but now getting back to normal. Have a lovely Xmas Maggie. X
