Inspirations #40 - a review

Well this is lovely........there are so many delightful and inspirational
projects I am sure every one will love it.

There is a lovely masculine throw with a needlepainted Canadian Red Fox -
though foxes are a terrible plague to Australian wildlife (they have no
predators here and have wrought devastation on our native fauna) this
blanket shows the lush majesty of the fox.

For those who love a handcrafted tote the "All Roses" handbag is a delight
with lots of bullion roses arranged in a luscious design.

Crewel - I love crewel - and there are 2 crewel projects. The first is a
charming crewel cushion called autumn gold, and there is the sweetest little
sewing purse with a design named Summer Garden.

For the little girl cherub in your life there is the Peace Angel Hearts and
Angels dress - this is so sweet and the little model is just the most
Angelic little one.

The Egyptian Beetle - well superlatives need to come out here. It is
described as "stunning three dimensional masterpiece" but that is barely an
adequate description. This design uses a number of textured and raised
embroidery techniques as well as an exciting selection of threads, beads and
goldwork materials to create extraordinary Egyptian icons.

For raised embroidery enthusiasts there is a design called Tranquillity
which is a perfectly formed Dahlia and softly shaded anemones in this
exquisite stumpwork picture.

There are two "bunny" projects in this issue - one is designed for young
stitchers to create a blanket for their teddy, and the other is a
wonderfully simple, but so very effective capsule blanket called Purity.
Purity is amazingly simple, yet incredibly effective in its design.

And finally a note for Dianne, they must have been prescient to your
wavering as there is a tiny taster of issue 41 - it is a luscious looking
Prize-winning Casalguidi Bag! 3 months to the next issue always seem so
long..............

Oh "damn". Sounds like I need to place an order. Just when I thought
they were getting stuck. This has happened before with Inspiration. I
should have known. grin

Thanks for the superlatives. I think. :-)

I can't wait for my issue. When I saw that Egyptian design I started
to drool. I don't care what stitches I have to learn I'm doing
that design.
I won't get my issue for a couple more weeks though
