I love the idea of adding crystals, Lori! This quilt would look beautiful with them. I need to start thinking along those lines too.
I was given BOXES of crystals, beads, etc. by a wonderful woman in my church who is 'retiring' from beading. A fellow quilter in our guild, a talented beader, will teach our church quilters how to begin beading with a 3 hour class. Looking forward to learning how. I'd like to start making artsy wall hangings, beaded purses, vests, Christmas decor or ??? as new possibilities.
