Description

Celebrate 30 years of Inspirations with superb projects showcasing favourite techniques from designers including beautiful dimensional embroidery, threadpainting, needlelace and counted thread work.

To celebrate 30 years of Inspirations, we asked designers to create a project incorporating some favourite elements from their own embroidery journey.

The result? Exciting dimensional work, exquisite threadpainting, meticulous goldwork and contemporary needlelace, alongside a delightful array of embroidery stitches and beading techniques.
