Bead Embellishments

In addition to traditional quilts, quilting services, and hand-woven pieces,we also embellish our original works with beads, wire, felt, and non-woven fibers; on dolls, bags, and quilts. As with many of our products, we do not stock an inventory: most works are one-of-a-kind creations. Commissions are most welcome. For a consultation and quote, contact us.

Title piece: "Brigid," a 9.5-inch (24cm) bead sculpture on a fabric armature, which won first place in the 2005 challenge show sponsored by The Beaded Pony of Stevensville, Montana, and a Reserve Grand Champion award in the 2006 Ravalli County Fair. Original design by Judy.

This original design is a quilted and beaded needle case, a book with leaves of wool felt for transporting and storing threaded needles for beading and embroidery. On the right is a work-in-progress, a traditional Native American-style beaded leather medicine bag, started in a workshop at West Fork Mountain Crafts.

This pillow is made from a decorator sample of large-print upholstery material, with the flowers and birds heavily augmented with beads.

A bead-embellished felt hat. The hat itself was made by knitting three different wool yarns in an oversized hat shape, then felting by washing in hot water and drying while shaping.

A quilted and beaded book cover, sized to fit a day-planner.
