Large Ndebele Sailboat
Perfect for summer! This brooch is fully bead woven with Ndebele-inspired sails. This herringbone stitch is ideal because of the interesting weave created by how it is constructed. It is further accentuated by turning the smaller sail on its side for textural interest. Follow these directions and illustrations for a simple way of decreasing the sail. This brooch was created specially for the readers of A Needle Pulling Thread magazine. This 9-page pattern has a photo overview with Maria’s famous fully detailed step-by-step illustrations for creating the large 10-bead Short and Tall Ndebele sails. Select photos of beadweaving and decreasing the sails enhance illustrations. Then, photos show how to assemble the sailboat and add your choice of pin to the back.

White Opal Spring Brooch
When I review pictures of spring time, I see market carts filled with tulips, crocuses, daffodils, and other spring flowers. A picture of some of our own bulbs pushing through the snow inspired this design. Like our garden of purple tulips and crocuses peeking out of the snow, I decided on a Swarovski White Opal Crystal to represent the piles of snow, and the beads to represent all the colourful flowers poking through. Ah… Springtime, and everything it brings!

Jack Frost Scarf
With Carla's request for a beaded scarf project, came the perfect opportunity for combining beads with knit lace using a technique that adds beads during the knitting process. No pre-stringing is required for this style of beaded knit. A fine crochet hook that fits into the hole in the bead is used to pull the bead onto the yarn stitch. After some experimenting, the Jack Frost scarf was created.
