chance
to in!
Meet the Albion stitch, a truly
new invention that will quickly join
the classics in your repertoire of
go-to techniques. Internationally
known bead artist Heather
Kingsley-Heath teaches you the
basics and then some—using up-tothe minute bead shapes like spikes,
gum drops, Rulas, Tilas, and more.
INTRODUCING ALBION STITCH
With the start of a new year comes another chance to set beading resolutions.
And we are here to help! Want to learn a new skill? Turn to p. 20 to learn bead single
crochet and make Candice Sexton’s gorgeous “Ombré diamonds bracelet.” Or ease
into bead embroidery with Meg Mullen’s “Playful pinwheel” pendant (p. 54). Looking
for a challenge? Try designing a project using a bead mix, as I did in “Beaded
diamonds” (p. 26) or construct a buckle in Donna Sutton’s adorable buckle
bracelet (p. 30). Tell us your beading goals for 2016 by emailing me at editor@
