Peyote Stitch Beaded Pen
Special Feature : Beading Series - Part 2 of 3
Embellishing a pen with the tubular peyote stitch can have a dazzling effect. There are two variations of tubular peyote, even and uneven (or odd), which refers to the number of beads that make up the first two rows of the project. Designed by Diane Mugford [email protected] 604.820.7932

Eadie Mae
Most designs begin with basic shapes. Eadie Mae began with the same basic body shape that Sherry used in the Spring 2011 issue, but Lucy adapted the doll’s construction to suit her style and to suit the machine embroidery techniques used in this pattern.

Little Bonnet
Turning a handkerchief into a baby bonnet is a simple and sweet way to create a memorable baby gift. The intent of the handkerchief bonnet is that it will be worn as a bonnet for the baby’s homecoming or Christening, then put away. When the baby has grown up and is getting married, the stitches will be snipped out of the bonnet and the bride will carry it at her wedding as part of the ‘something old’ tradition. It can then be stitched into a bonnet again for the couple’s child.

Pocketful of Candies
This project is similar to Vicki’s black and white piece, but she switched to colour. This small piece is designed to challenge, but also add some colour and creativity to a home. Use the result for a pincushion, a key fob, or a coaster.

Privy Garden Pillow
The Privy Gardens were kept private until the 20th century and have been restored to their 1702 glory. They showcase a formal symmetry featuring graceful curved gravel paths winding between yew and holly bushes. It was the lines traced by the paths that I tried to capture in this design. Curved lines in cable patterns are very difficult to achieve so I used appliqué I-cords along with the traditional knitted-in technique. I selected seed stitch for highlights, to add texture and reference the gravel stones. Then set each pattern in mirror image quadrants to follow the symmetry of the gardens.

Scrappy Hearts Quilt

Snips ‘n’ Snails Quilt
Sometimes what appears complex is the result of a simple concept. As well, what is conceived as simple can be a challenge. Before designer Monika Kinner-Whalen’s quilt project is dismissed as too complex or too simple, a closer look might reveal the opposite is true.
