Tree of Life progress
I am working on a Tree of Life art quilt, here is recent progress. It started as a table runner that inspired me. It measures 16 inches wide by 38 1/2 inches long. I am hand embellishing with beads, stones, crystals and sequins. There will be butterflies.
I was gifted some beads and discovered my needles would not fit thru the holes, even my narrowest needles. I went to a bead shop and discovered beading needles, who knew. It is a long flexible needle, extra skinny and a challenge to thread. I went to buy a needle threader, but you still need to poke the thin wire thru a very narrow opening. I really miss the eyesight of my youth.
Here is some of my handwork, which is self taught, so I have lots of room for improvement.
