This first effort by Jennie Might shows promise of good things to come!

Clear and easy to follow instructions for Tubular Peyote, Flat Round Peyote and tips for starting a new thread are the starting point in the book, then we get in to the graphs.

There are 20 designs here, all of which are just lovely. The graphs are separated into the needlecase body and needlecase top, and can be worked as a flat Peyote piece, as well. I especially love the Celtic Knot, the Crimson & Keys, Art Deco, Minaret and Magic Carpet patterns.

With some of the simple patterns and easy to follow instructions, I would highly recommend this book for beginners, as well as advanced beaders. I think this type of small project is just perfect for new beaders, who can sometimes be overwhelmed by a large scale project. And advanced beaders wil enjoy a new project, and the challenge of embellishing these little beauties.

Of course, we all use needles, so add this one to your collection, and make some great needlecases!
