Reviews for Beading Artistry for Quilters: Basic Stitches & Embellishments Add Texture & Drama

... I love patchwork, beadwork, and I love handwork, and Tom Atkins marries all 3 of these techniques together in his book. Thom shows various beading techniques and example after example of how simple beading can elevate a printed piece of cloth into art. The instructions are easy to follow and it s nothing short of divine inspiration for me between each cover. There is literally nothing that I don t love about this book. Atkins work is breathtaking and, by its very nature, inspires me to elevate my art and dare to try new things. This book is staying in my library forever and ever.--Mark Lipinski diplo
