Two books I added to my library a couple of months ago. Scarlett Rose has a unique look at applique. 

When spring gets underway, Misty Mountain Quilters Guild will be offering a Celtic style quilt.  The teacher, Dolores Knight,  has won award after award.  She is recovering from pneumonia right now so I hope she will feel well enough to teach in the spring. We missed her at the last guild meeting.

Here is the quilt I believe we will be making. 

It is called When Irish Hearts are Smiling and it looks very intense. I will be pleased to complete one block.

Dolores also mentioned teaching this cute little quilt, which, of course, with its tea theme immediately caught my attention.

Here is a design from diverse-threads.co.uk that shows a connection between Celtic knotwork and beading.This is Sheila Ridgeon's work. Maybe I am getting closer to the connection.






Then there is this, from beadinhand.com 
It has a more three dimensional quality. I can see myself wearing something like this. Making something like this.
