Spiral Illusion Motif

This motif can be used as an applique for a potholder, a motif in a tablecloth, placemat or large doily. It is fairly faste and easy to make and would make a wonderful take-a-long project in the summer.

Sheetworks Studio Version 2.5 — Free Download! - Two New Categories Added, Graph Paper and Quilt Blocks
All items in our online shop ship free within the US only. I currently offer U.S. shipping only and it is from rural Maine. Delivery can vary from 2–14 days depending on your distance from Maine. Expedited shipping is not available.

Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Marking A Spot
If you need to mark a special spot on a project but you don't want to write on it, scratch it or something else that can do damage, use a small piece of painter's tape on the spot, then draw a line on that piece of tape exactly where you want the mark to be. The tape is safe for all surfaces and can be easily removed, when done, without leaving a residue.
