5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have Item, September 7, 2006

For a non-quilter, but an active beader, this is an absolute "must have" book to incorporate either or both techniques in a clear, concise, easy to learn manner. The written descriptions, followed by the beautiful photography and/or sketches of each stitch or technique, should take a novice in either quilting or beading to the next level. A well written book and worth every penny!

This review is from: Bead Creative Art Quilts (Paperback)

I do a lot of beading on my art quilts and have often been disappointed by other books dealing with beading on quilts. But there is no disappointment with this book! This book has a lot to offer both beginning beaders as well as more experienced beaders. It is well written and easy to follow. I find myself going back to it for inspiration and new ideas. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant approach to beading on cloth, September 6, 2006

Lots of beading books are about making jewelry. That's not what interests me. This book turns beads into elegant adornments. I was especially taken with the beaded kaleidoscopes. This is not a book for those who want a delicate touch of beads here and there. This is for those who have thousands of beads they want to use to encrust a scene or favorite piece of fabric. I can see having the binding taken off the book and a spiral binding put on at Kinko's so it can lay flat next to me while I am working.
