The Bead Queen

Vicky has been in class with The Bead Queen. That's Meredith Willet, if you didn't know. She's a master of gold work techniques as well, but Vicky shows off her mastery of beads with teaser photos from the class.   Don't you wish you'd been there?!

Danielle's Tools. Totes and Tips

Danielle has posted a wonderful article on her Vera Bradley tote bag storage system, hints about using thumb tacks and the tack puller to attach canvas to stretcher bars, and how she labels her plastic thread bobbins.  She also talks about how she folds her pattern and uses a magnet to attach it to her canvas and more.  Great information!
