No, the half tila isn't a dive like the Half Gaynor with a Twist. The half tila is a bead, a narrow rectangle bead with two holes that is actually half the size of a regular tila bead. Palma Seljan used them on a border for her latest Lani collage and showed off pictures on Facebook, where I spotted them. She got hers from Caravan Beads, so I did a little Googling so I could shave with 2000 of my closest friends.

Aren't we lucky to be living when so many things are available for our stitching pleasure?

These are great! I used some of the Tila beads that Ruth Schmuff suggested in Broom Parking and they are so easy to add!
