Today I sketched a few ideas for using Bugle beads as part of seam embellishments in Crazy Quilting. I have heaps of bugle beads in a tin, all colours and sizes and I thought they’d be good to include as part of a design. I used the candle idea on my Christmas Ornaments and that worked so the others probably will too. Feel free to use these ideas yourself, I’m sure there are hundreds more ways to use these beads.

Ooooh, I like that fan at bottom right. Can I snaffle it? Like the corner at bottom left, too. Think I will squirrel that away somewhere.
Bugle beads are not something I use a lot, so will have to explore a bit more. Thanks!

What great ideas for bugle beads–i usually end up using them to “draw” lines with, but these are very creative ways to incorporate them!

This is a great use of a journal for putting down and sharing your ideas. I used to do some similar sketches when I was crazyquilting, but not as pretty as yours. Lately, most of my creative energies are going to journaling. It was fun seeing how you combine the two arts.

Oh Vivienne, that is intriquing what you sketched and I hope you don’t mind my using a few ideas on my CQing pieces! Just lovely especially the fan one!!! Thank you for sharing.
