What Are You Stitching?

Inspired by the pomegranate in Anna Scott’s ‘Pomegranate & Rose’ featured in this week’s All Stitched Up!, we searched to find what other fruit had been created with needle and thread by the Inspirations Community…

‘My name is Anna and I am originally from Russia, although I now live in Finland. I have been a subscriber to Inspirations for many years and really love your magazine!’

‘I have recently completed Woodland Berries from Inspirations #67 and Strawberry Fayre is now in progress.’

Anna, one can never have too many strawberries, especially those that help keep our needlework tools so safely and beautifully stored! We love your version of Barbara Jackson’s needle accessories and look forward to seeing Strawberry Fayre once it’s complete.

Hailing from the UK, Jenny is one of our regular contributors to ‘What Are You Stitching?’ and this week she’s the apple of our eye…

Jenny, we love that you’ve knitted an apple cover for your apple! What an innovative and fun way to display and protect a piece of fruit.

‘I was born in South Africa but have lived in London for the past 18 years. I have embroidered since the age of 12 and my Mum still treasures my first piece of work. I have tried various types of embroidery and am mainly self-taught. Inspirations is the best magazine ever! I’m the proud owner of all 100 copies and always eagerly await the arrival of the next issue. I’m hoping to retire soon so I will be able to have more time to embroider.’

Judy, we love your version of Victoria Laine’s Delicate Touch and appreciate your support as an Inspirations Foundation Member.
