November Monthly meeting
November 5th
Meeting Starts 6:30 PM
Step Up/Step Down Odd Count Peyote
Adele Kimpell will use Cynthia Rutledge’s method to teach us how to do odd count peyote using the Step-up/Step-down technique.
This stepup/ step-down and turnaround technique alternates sides, so both sides of your peyote strip will be smooth and straight. Odd count peyote increases your design possibilities because of the “center” bead which you cannot achieve with even count peyote.
HOMEWORK:
Stitch the the following four rows with either Miyuki Delica Beads or Toho Aiko beads:
Rows 1 & 2: With 6 feet of prepared thread in a color that blends with the cylinder beads, string 14cylinder beads, leaving a 6 inch tail.
Row 3: Without a bead on the needle, skip the last 2 cylinder beads strung and sew back through the third; adjust the tension. Using 1 cylinder bead in each stitch, make 5 more stitches; string 1cylinder bead and sew back through the first cylinder bead strung. Adjust the tension and how you are holding the strip.
Row 4: Using 1cylinder bead in each stitch, make 6 stitches.
Supplies: needle, thread, scissors, task lamp if desired and 7 to 10 grams of cylinder beads.
Adele will have written handouts with illustrations available at the UMBS meeting.

Adele Kimpell is a Minnesota based, primarily self- taught beader, who has had a love affair with needle and thread arts since the age of thirteen. Introduced to off-loom bead weaving in 1994, she spent eight years learning and experimenting with technique and has been designing jewelry, authoring and illustrating patterns and teaching for the last fifteen years at bead shops, bead societies and guilds, and bead shows at a national level. Adele’s design philosophy is to design for the novice to intermediate bead artist but to incorporate elements that appeal to the advanced bead artist.Adele loves to pass on her knowledge and skills and to give her students a solid foundation in technique and to help instill in them the self-confidence to design and create on their own. She derives satisfaction from seeing how each student embraces a project and makes it his/her own. She is known by her students for her well written instructions with full color illustrations, her patience, knowledge and helpful hints and tips. Adele is the founder of, and a partner in, Bead Dreamers LLC.

Great way for UMBS to earn income for our Education Fund!!!
And it's FREE for the user!
Have you checked out GOODSEARCH.COM?
Goodsearch.com is an internet search engine, similar to Google. There is one BIG difference. Goodsearch donates one cent, to the group of your choice, for every search! No strings attached.
I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve raised over $15 for UMBS (and I don’t always remember to use it).
UMBS is a registered group on Goodsearch. When you go to the Goodsearch.com website you can register and designate UMBS as your designated organization and start the donations with your first search.
All profits from Goodsearch are put in the Education Fund of UMBS.
If each of our members joined Goodsearch – even part of the time – think about the money we can raise for classes, workshops, etc.!
GIVE IT A TRY!
