Giveaway: Creative Quilting with Beads

February 17, 2012, 16:24 pm  Posted by needlearts
 

You may have seen the post before Valentine’s Day on Quilting a Love Letter. But Deborah Boschert’s beaded X’s and O’s are just one of the beautiful projects inside Creative Quilting with Beads.

From the still-life style pomegranate on the cover to abstract shapes, using beads can add a dimensional quality to quilts that few other techniques can match.

Don’t believe us? Check it out yourself! This week we’re giving away a copy of Creative Quilting with Beads.

“To enter for a chance to win the book, please leave a comment on this post by 9 p.m. EST on Friday, February 24. Any comment is fine—though we’d love to hear what motif you think would look great with beads. One winner will be selected at random from among all eligible entries and notified by Monday, February 27. Click here for the official rules.”

  • craftymom

     I would love to learn about beading with quilts!  I love beading and have recently jumped into quilting.  I would love to combine two of my favorite hobbies.  Both of these hobbies have evolved due to my two precious babies…they are my inspiration!!!!!

    This sounds a lovely book, I’d love to win it.  I think a peacock would look fabulous with beads – all the colours.  Unfortunately, I wouldn’t use it as peacocks in a house are considered unlucky in this part of the world!

  • Wanda

    It sounds like a GRAND book — I think the best thing to bead would be a chicken with sneakers….

    I love learning any new craft and have wanted to learn quilting for several years, but don’t know where to start!  I would think that quilting with beads would just enhance this traditional craft.  Really, really hope I win this book.
