Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Organizing Fabric
I am organizing my fabric by taking photos of each Fat Quarter and bigger and putting them into folders on my computer by color. Then I make sure I can see the photo's information and edit the Comments, Author and Subject information to reflect where I got the fabric from, how much I have and where it is located in my sewing room. Then I can just import the image of the fabric I want to use in a quilt, into EQ8, for when I am designing a quilt. It is a lot of work but well worth it.have
