This is such an amazing website!! Your work is so creative and inspiring. Your books are so helpful and well put together. I liked the one you published yourself the best. Please keep it up! Happy New Year!!

Hi Beth!

I have been beading for about 3 and a half years. In that time I have collected a vast library of books about beading, but your book, "Seed Bead Stitching" was the one that excited me and got me started. I still think it is one of the best books out there. You really have something special.

Also, I bought a kit from you once, for the green spiral bracelet. You were so kind and walked me through some rough spots over the phone. The bracelet was beautiful - I gave it to my sister and she loved it.

Keep it up, Beth!

Hi Beth!

I used to bead when I was young, but sadly life got in the way and my hobby got lost in the shuffle.  A few months ago I was bored on a hot summer day and wandered into a local craft store.  I picked up one of your books and some beads and now I can't stop beading!  Your book is so easy to follow and your work is so beautiful that it makes even the non-artistic (like me) feel inspired and creative!  Thank you for re-introducing me to beading!  I'm having so much fun!

My daughter Desiree and I were on a trip to Florida when I saw a cute bracelet for sale at a vendors. I said I could make one of these, so I bought it. My daughter said she had lots of beading stuff she had purchased and wasnt really doing anything with it but would love to make some jewelry. When we got home we went to the local craft store and purchased your book "More Seed Bead Stitching".  I love the book! I was able to learn how to do all the various techniques and now make jewelry for friends and co-workers from beads, wire, ribbon, you name it I use it! I have a always been crafty, knit, crochet, embroidery, painting and drawing among others. I feel like I have found my true love! I dont want to sleep or eat or work I only want to make things. I will purchase your other books because there is so much inspiration and the lessons are so well written. I wanted to tell you I made the Triangles for a bracelet and on the last row I only put one bead in each corner instead of two and it looks good either way! I have designed so much now and am able to express myself in beads. I plan on trying to use my xstich stamped cloth and instead of thread x's I will use beads and then there is a guitar strap I want to make for my friend Ray and then there is a necklace I want to make for my grandaughter and then......well you get the picture. LOL Thanks soooo much! Linda :)  

Dear Beth

I purchased your first book some time ago, and absolutely loved your style and experimentation.  The colours are absolutely amazing and without sounding too soppy, truely inspirational.  I have just joined a newly formed North West Beaders Group and it is so relaxing and wonderful to be so creative from such tiny beads.  Each person makes such a different piece from the one pattern.  I will wait a while for your latest book until I'm more experienced, but can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your last two books - they are always my first reference. 

Best wishes, Sarah, Northern Ireland

I would like to have the pattern for the Fun Beaded Bag that is in the magazine Seed Bead Stitching. Could you email this to me?  

Hi Beth

I just purchased your book, "Seed Bead Stitching".   I enjoy searching the internet and finding free projects, but there is something about having a book in hand that you can continually refer back to, that lends to a comfort and reassurance.  I have just mastered the Peyote Stitch and I love it; like yourself, it was somewhat frustrating in the beginning, but I was determined to stick with it until I got it.  I love that I can "Create" things of beauty by putting together simples things like beads.  I look forward to being able to do free forms items that are appealing to the eye.  I am excited about exploring your book - I will literally devour it from beginning to end.  Thank you for taking the time to put your ideas, thoughts and skill in a simple format that people can understand.  Happy Beading and GOD Bless you and your family!!!!!!!!
