Project and Sample by Emily Miller

Back to Square Stitch! Emily has a new pattern to play with color. Inspired by Native American and African beadwork as well as Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, today we’re using shapes and lines of primary colors. These ideas work so well in the square stitch technique. We’re using the popular size 11/0 seed beads for extra detail and a more fabric-like result. Emily also has a new buttonhole technique that can translate into other bead weaving stitches.

If you feel intimidated by using the smaller size 11/0 beads for this project check out the New Plaid project for another design using Square Stitch, done in size 8/0 size beads. The same techniques apply but Bard’s broadcast will cover a brand new button hole, added at the end of the weaving.

Please join us as our worldwide community gathers on Facebook and YouTube at 10:30am Pacific Time on March 13th, 2023. It’s so much fun to go live with us and bead together! After the live broadcast the video will be available above.
