Embroider a geometric star in metallic threads, and then add seed beads for an elegant, crisp design. Layer bright squares, construct a Chinese Pagoda design out of many small bits and scraps, use bold, thick threads to make a wonderfully realistic three-dimensional butterfly, or quilt a small heart card for Valentine's Day. Each card is so exquisite that it's a gift in itself.Piers, Marrian is the author of 'Classic Cards 60 Projects for the Discriminating Crafter', published 2006 under ISBN 9781402710728 and ISBN 1402710720.
