New Dr. Who This Sunday!

I have to admit our whole family loves Dr. Who and have been waiting since Christmas, with anticipation for the newest episode, to be released this Sunday evening.  So to celebrate, here is is the 11th Doctor.

Just finished beading this pendant

I just wanted to share a quick pic of this pendant (pattern here) I just finished.  The pattern is from Vezsuzi, and if you haven't checked out her blog you really should.  Don't let the Hungarian put you off - the blog is full of beautiful beady eye candy.  Her work is exciting and gorgeous.

I also more patterns coming up to share with everyone.  Happy Easter and Blessed Ostara!

And of course.... some more!

Nine more bead quilt patterns

More Bead Quilt Patterns

Here are some more Bead Quilt patterns.  I apologize for the lay out being a bit winkey.  It's been a while and I need to get reacquainted with HTML.

Bead Quilt 2012-2013

These rose patterns are from the first set of patterns I ever designed for the Bead Quilt three or four years ago.  The theme that year was "roses."  Since this year's theme is "flowers," I thought I would go ahead and post these here as well.  They were originally posted on Jeanette Shanigan's Yahoo group Beady Shanigans.

 As I mentioned, These were some of the very first I did for the Bead It Forward project.  I have to confess to having made some mistakes.  This first pattern accidentally is missing it's first row of colors.  I recommend just repeating the colors from the row below it.

2012-2013 Bead-It-Forward bead-quilt project

This yearthe  Bead It Forward Bead Quilt is being organized by Bead and Button.  In the past, Jeanette Shanigan has organized the Bead Quilt project, but she has passed the torch to Bead and Button staff to oversee the project.  Every year the Bead Quilt helps raise awareness and money for breast cancer research.

This project is one that is near and dear to my heart, and I have taken it as a reason to get back to bead blogging.  Over the past year-and-a-half I have pretty much allowed myself to be too busy to "get around to it."  So rather than spend energy feeling guilty, I'm going to present some patterns for this years Bead Quilt.

The theme is "Flowers: Stitching to find a bloomin' cure."  In addition to the new patterns I designed today, I also have a gallery of rose quilt square patterns that could be used as well.  

 I encourage folks to use these patterns as a starting point.  Please change colors, or the design, to reflect your work and ideas.
