It's OT because I have gone over to the dark side... beading I have been collecting beads for embellishment purposes for a while now and while trying (and failing) to find bead patterns for small flowers to embellish a quilt I have in progress I came across this bracelet pattern and decided to try it out
the result is in my yahoo photo's in the beading folder
That's really lovely, looks substantial, not like some of the flimsy beaded jewellery you see. I'm always afraid of breaking or losing it! Great colours!

thanks Jo! it's only 1/4 inch wide at the widest part but each core bead has the thread going through 4 times so it is strong :-D
answering myself - I meant 1/4 inch at the skinniest part - the widest part is 2 1/2 inches
Jessamy-
It's looks like you are off on another passion- watch out quilting. I love the colors and congrats on an excellent first try!

Thanks Leslie,
but it won't take over - I used to bead some (beads and wire and pliers type then) when I was a teen and it didn't stick. anyways I'm having far too much fun designing quilts!
