Inspirations Calendar | April Project

Our 2023 Inspirations Calendars will soon be turned to April, where we’ll be welcoming the new month with Laurence Lieblich’s ‘Paradise’.

This project is the perfect way to bring an explosion of vibrant colour to your life.

Three dazzling birds are having a wonderful time perched in a floral bouquet of stunning blossoms and colourful greenery. This is the perfect design to brighten up any room.

Measuring 23cm x 19cm wide (9″ x 7 1/2″) not only is Paradise a visual feast, it’s also a feast for the needle in equal measure.

Featuring Cretan stitch, Palestrina stitch, surface embroidery, whipped spider web and more, the combination of stitches creates a beautifully textured piece.

One of the key elements that makes Paradise such a spectacular design is the clever use of over 40 different coloured stranded silk threads which work together and shimmer away in perfect harmony.

For those of you who love the appeal of this project but are short on time when it comes to sourcing all the materials, the good news is we do have a handful of Ready-to-Stitch kits still in stock.

When you consider the kit includes 42 skeins of Au ver a Soie Soie d’Alger threads, fabric and needles, it represents incredible value for money.

Instructions for Paradise can be found in Inspirations issue #110 or if you prefer the convenience of a digital pattern, this is available to purchase and download from our website also.
