Welcome friends to issue #23
      Weddings abound in my family and circle of friends both last year and this year. Grand eloquent weddings, cozy family weddings, second weddings, fire hall weddings, and one on the beach in bare feet! Since wedding jewelry & gift ideas have been on my mind I invited our designers to follow a wedding theme for this issue. Many of the designs could also be used for a variety of special occasions.
      Barb Nichols has shared an embroidered peyote cuff that offers many design opportunities. Both the Ladders of Love trio and the Fire Polished with Pearls Bracelet from Marilyn Peters would look stunning on the bride, and match the colors to the dresses for bridesmaids, or even for prom night! Sandra D. Halpenny has worked her seed bead magic to create beaded Wedding Lace that could be stitched for any member of the wedding party from the flower girl to Grandmother! Customize the Tea Light Covers from Sharon Boehme for weddings, Memorial Day, 4th of July, & Christmas just by changing the colors.
      Two bridal specific peyote projects offer bonus date charts so you can personalize the panels; use for wedding accessories, decorations, & gifts.
Here's to the happy couples!    Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
