In this issue of Quilting Arts, we hope you will join us in learning about all types of beads (seed, bugle, and beyond) that can adorn your quilts. In readying this issue we have come to appreciate how a tiny addition of molded glass, glazed glay, or polished stone can spice you your textile art. Pour your beads out on the table and play. Take them to fabric and ruched ribbon and who knows what you will create.
