5.0 out of 5 stars Add a little glitz or a LOT, August 8, 2001
By 
Carol H. Miller (www.Quilt University.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stori of Beaded Embellishment (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
Mary Stori has staked out the world of beaded embellishment as her specialty and it is a good thing for the rest of us. Her enthusiasm for the form is palpable, her directions are clear and complete. The quilt designs sown in the book are more cute than elegant, but this reflects the type of small projects that one could finish in a workshop. The methods could easily be adapted to more sophisticated applications.   Mary shows each stitch in a close up picture and illustration and accompanies this with written instructions that are easy to follow. If you follow her suggestion and make a beaded sampler of each stitch, you will be well on your way to embellishing your first real project. Tip and tricks keep you from making the same mistakes she made while learning. Eight projects are given in detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Stori of Beaded Embellishment, August 5, 2001
This review is from: The Stori of Beaded Embellishment (That Patchwork Place) (Paperback)
I absolutely loved the book and am already starting to collect beads..."anything with a hole in it" ! It may be "non-traditional" but the information is priceless. As a person who has never added beads to anything I found the stitch instructions were well written and the illustrations are excellent, well worth the price of the book. As an added bonus, you can get some great ideas of how to use beads by studying some of Mary Stori's very whimisical and funny quilts. You will love the humor in all Mary's quilts and her techniques for using beads are fantastic.
