Arabic Designs

I have become very fascinated lately with Arabic design specifically those with one continuous line for the design। I found the design I wanted to try and here are the results.

  I thought it might intrest someone on the process of how I did this.

 This is my design taped to a window to transfer onto my fabric। I chose a poly/cottton blend off white shirting। Don't know why I had shirting but I do

I backed my design with a very thin quilt batting because I had planned to do some shadow quilting to match the design.

Here are the beautiful beads I got as a gift from my sister who sent me a lovely package in the mail with all things beady and good! They remind me of mosaic colors! I took them off the sting as is.

once my design was finished being beaded I then hand quilted on either side of the beaded design,, with the same pattern as the design itself.....I have said design WAAAY too many times in this post! lol

A light pressing and viola!

For those of you who had the misfortune of reading this blog yesterday I apologize I was having trouble uploading pictures.  Have a lovely day!
