Inspirations #105 Out Now!

It’s a new year, a new decade and now there’s a new issue of Inspirations out for you to enjoy!

It is hard to resist anything new and we’ve specifically chosen the projects for issue #105 to be simply irresistible.

New Year’s resolutions are always difficult to keep, but the decision to start one of these stunning projects will be the easiest you’ve made so far. The only challenge will be which one to do first.

Lovers of gold will not be able to go past Cynthia Jackson’s flowering pea plant, redolent of the 16th Century and bursting with gold thread. What about Alison Cole’s glittering Tree of Life, filled with different goldwork techniques? Or if you like to wear your sparkle, you won’t be able to resist Georgina Bellamy’s unique lorikeet brooch.

If flowers are your passion, you’ll be drawn in by Gary Clarke’s Leucadendron, worked on fine organza. Trish Burr has made her brilliantly coloured hummingbird all the more appealing by perching him on a sprig of flowers. And all bead embroiderers are going to be spoilt this issue with Margaret Lee’s beaded cherry blossom purse.

If you just can’t say no to counted work, Christine Burton will capture you with her blackwork cushion. Finally, for blanket lovers there is one for the boys, featuring an astronaut in his rocket heading for the stars.

As it was famously stated, resistance is futile, but with such gorgeous projects why would you even want to?

Give in to your love of embroidery and grab a copy of issue #105 now.
