Strand of Pearls

Have you been seeing some of those quilting designs that incorporate a strand of pearls?  I think it adds a bit of elegance to your quilting project.  Here is one wreath I designed with Art and Stitch and Intelliquilter.

The key in creating the pearls (whether you are doing on your domestic machine or using a computerized system) is going around each circle 1-1/2 times.  (Thanks to Helen Baczynski for sharing this tip with the Intelliquilter goup.)  Check out my video on how I did this in Art and Stitch.

Would you like a pdf of my heart strand design?  

Happy quilting.
