Inspirations Calendar | December Project

It is difficult to believe that December is only a few days away. Throughout this long year, the thought of Christmas was always on the horizon and at last, we can turn to the final page in the calendar and be greeted with one of our most popular Christmas projects to date.

Julie Kniedl’s Mistletoe Bell, from the cover of Inspirations issue #100, is a simple yet beautiful project which expresses everything wonderful about Christmas. Worked as a three-dimensional embroidery in smooth silks, the curved leaves and tiny white berries of the mistletoe which adorn this bell are so realistic it is hard to tell whether they are stitched or simply picked from a tree.

This is the perfect project to decorate the centre of your Christmas table, or anywhere in the house for that matter!

And we couldn’t imagine a better way to see 2020 out than by ringing a bell to signify the end of a difficult year and the start of a new one full of hope and joy.
