Pulling the Beads Out ...yes,for the Yosemite Quilt!



 The stitching has slowly been coming together and today the fun really begins.
The beads come out!

I've included a couple of close-up pictures of the stitching with a few beads thrown out there to try them out, and then a bunch more.

Just in case your interested I've thrown in pictures of my bead stitching kit

-the little drawers-- the ones with the BEADS!!!
For this quilt I pulled from the white, purple and teal bead drawers.

I was really in search of a bunch of choices that remind me of snow...
#1
#2
#3
#4

#5
#6
Which ones would you pick? I'd love to hear which ones you think may work out, so I've given each grouping a number. Just pick out your favs and leave me a quick note in the comments.

I like #5 best and #3 second best. The first is like bright newly fallen snow glittering in the sunshine and the second like snow in the evening light with an old fashioned feel.

Number 5 - from recent personal experience.
And the center beads in Number 6.
Sparkling cold brilliant magical snow!
