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.

A selection of beaded beads and and example of Brazilian embroidery, forms of embellishment that can be used on any fabric object.

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.
