Welcome friends to issue #42
Yes, this is our final issue. It has been a wonderful seven years. We would like to thank all of our subscribers and single issue customers; folks like you are why we love what we do! Huge thanks also go to all the talented Designers who have shared their beautiful projects and taught us a thing or two along the way. Please be sure to look for new items from your favorites at: Sova-Enterprises.com or Bead-Patterns.com

Michelle Hall stitches a brilliantly colored butterfly crystal drop, Barb Nichols shares two exquisite bracelet designs, and you will want to stitch both in an assortment of summer colors. Sandra Halpenny has plucked a few blooms from her seed bead garden for us; two delightfully different seed bead flower and leaf creations for neck and wrist. Ronit Florence has created the perfect accessories for Summer Theater with peyote & brick stitched Drama mask bracelet and earrings. I have included a peyote seashell bracelet that was patterned after a conch I found one summer long ago...
Best wishes & full bead dishes, Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
