Issue 36 (Jul/Aug 2011) Summer Issue

Welcome friends to issue #36
      Summer is here and the weather is great! I love to stitch by the pool or even better by the ocean. I had fun with peyote this issue and have a Mermaid Crystal Drop for you and the first in a series of Spice Collars. Daughter Michelle plays with silver and sparkling crystal. Linda Gettings shares a Herringbone Collar that is stitched in two parts. Celebrate the Summer Patriotic Holidays with Ronit Florence's Flag Waving Bears with earrings to match! Barb Nichols has created a gorgeous pearl and crystal cuff and a Peyote Bezel Button Necklace. Practice your Odd Count peyote with a fun Rainbow cuff from Shirley Isaacs. Marilyn Peters has designed a quick to stitch RAW and netting bracelet, perfect for summer gifts. Enjoy!
      Best wishes & full bead dishes, Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
