A Handpicked Revolution

It can be said that as an artform, needlework resides in two different worlds. One world that is a constant and steeped in tradition. The other that is ever changing and forever modern.

Perhaps it is this tension, this curious dichotomy, that allows needlework to remain just as relevant today as it has been throughout the corridors of time.

Here at Inspirations Studios, we celebrate these two worlds and strive to publish projects that provide a harmonious balance between the two – honouring tradition and at the same time celebrating progressive change.

To help us better serve you, our global needlework community, we’re working on changing how we make some of our projects available.

Over the past several years we’ve been developing our Handpicked range of projects.

These are individual designs that were neither part of a book or included in any of our magazines.

This has allowed us to provide an offering that is more diverse and unencumbered, and we’re now growing and expanding this offering.

Today we’re announcing a Handpicked Revolution with two exciting changes:

We’re releasing more individual Handpicked projects than ever before and arranging them into collections.

Each Handpicked Collection will also be available in book format.

While we’ll be sharing more about our vision for the Handpicked series in the coming weeks, today we wanted to let you know the first three books in the Handpicked Collection are available for pre-order.

Collection One and Two contain projects previously released individually but for the first time have now been grouped together and made available in a book format.
