Wire wrapping question

I have this really awesome moss agate slab that has a hole drilled in
it to make it into a pendant. I'd like to put a wire wrapped bale on
it, but can't find any tutorials, or even any photos that i like very
much...i'm gonna play with it, but i'm a rank beginner at this, and
would gratefully accept any help you're willing to give. Thanks!

That's okay, Jalynne. I did wonder what agate had to do with quilting and am
glad you explained but it was a very interesting peek into another world.

That's okay, and I'm not so sure this is exactly the wrong group the more I
found out how many of you love beads. : )

This is the tutorial I was given by a veteran wire wrapper.
Take wire in hand A.
Take stone in hand B.
Wrap wire around stone in any pattern that is pleasing to you.
Make a small loop in the wire to hang the stone by.
Clip excess wire off when finished.
Bend both ends of wire on the stone so that the wire won't prick the
wearer.

I can think of one way to tie wire wrapped stones and quilting
together. A quilted tablecloth (without batting) with metal eyelets
at intervals around the edge. Wire wrap some pretty colored tumbled
stones and then use French hook earring hooks to hang them from the
eyelets. Remove the wired stones to wash the table cloth. It would
be great for a picnic table cloth because it wouldn't blow away in the
wind.
