Inspirations Magazine 127

In this issue we introduce the first in a series of three goldwork knot gardens by Tania Cohen, each featuring a different metal thread colour.

We also present a beautiful project showcasing Aemilia Ars, a style of Italian needlelace, for the first time, with a delicate design surrounding a linen square by Di Kirchner.

You will also find projects utilising crewel embroidery, blackwork, stumpwork, silk ribbon and threadpainting, as well as a cute little box with surface embroidery. Featured Projects
