Even something as simple as an English paper pieced hexagon cluster can be embellished with hand stitching and glass beads. It gives your work a more three-dimensional look than even quilting does. I took this cluster of hexagons and hand-quilted them to a piece of Warm and Natural batting. Then, I hand-stitched the quilted cluster to a base of (double) terry cloth to create a hot pad for a kitchen counter. (I used my new Simplicity bias tape maker for the polka-dot edge - yipee!)
Things that sit around my house are often embellished in one form or another... look out Teddy!
