Help needed

Hi all,



I've been lurking for the most part drooling over all the pretty beads you make and show (and links shared !)



I am a quilter who occasionally beads for fun and I have taken a liking to using a gazillion beads on some of my quilts. mostly I use seed beads, bugles, daggers, teardrops and tiny pearls. My next project *needs* 3 dimensional beaded flowers that are beaded with thread and not with wire (so that if the quilt ever needs a gentle hand wash it *can* be washed). I can do most of the different stitch/waves necessary.



so does anyone know of a small (2 - 3 inch max) beaded flower pattern? googling had only turned up wired flowers :-(



TIA

that's a good way for sewing the beads on our quilt! I can help you if you need it!

thanks to the person who sent me this link:
