Heirloom Ornament Patterns by Deb Moffett-Hall

Deb Moffett-Hall has designed some of the most innovative and beautiful ornament patterns we've seen! She's been featured in magazines and is a top designer for Bead-Patterns.com. She had designed sets of panels that, when linked together, surround an ornament such as a 2 1/4 round glass tree ball or a wooden egg. The panels themselves can then be embellished.

The pattern packages available on Deb's site are nothing short of wonderful!  Each kit includes a picture of the finished piece, a set of instructions for making the panels along with instructions for assembling the final product.  The graphs are done in Beadscape, so you know they are clear, and include a bead count! The packages also include loads of great tips and hints, and a clear and easy tutorial for those who may be new to Peyote stitch. 

Some of my favorite are the Ukrainian Folk Art Egg, Spring Garden, Blue Jays & Gold Finches, Bunny Artist, Cats, Jacobean Fantasy Midnight Angels, Santa's Night Flight and my personal favorite: Iris & Roses!

If you are a pattern collector, and ornament collector or just a lover of beautiful beading opportunities, do not miss these!  At just $10.95 per pattern (free shipping!) these are a bargain!  And, it's not too early to get started on the Christmas ornaments, either!
