Inspirations Calendar | September Project

September is the month for Elizabethan glory, with this month’s calendar project being the absolutely gorgeous Serendipity by Susan O’Connor. This beautiful project first appeared in the original A Passion for Needlework book and has been a firm favourite ever since.

We think Serendipity is an ideal project for September as the first buds of Spring are appearing outside of the office at Inspirations HQ, and our friends in the northern hemisphere are enjoying the last of the warm weather with the late summer flowers blooming in glory.

Serendipity is a project that includes two colourful pinwheels decorated with two intricate Elizabethan floral designs. They are bursting with texture and colour and feature traditional Elizabethan motifs such as strawberries, pansies and rosehips. Utilising a range of surface stitches, and a beautiful array of colours, each pinwheel has some extra sparkle with glittering paillettes dotting the background.

We are pleased to release Serendipity as a digital pattern so you can download and start stitching straight away. You too can enjoy the splendour of September with your needle and thread and this lovely, iconic project.
