Inspirations 56

I received my contributor’s copy of Inspirations 56 this week. Once again it is a gorgeous magazine!

I read through the magazine and was surprised to find that there were some things in there that I had forgotten about! I was thinking that my only contribution was of the project White Christmas, but I also found an article that I wrote on Deerfield blue and white needlework, and one on self-publishing that I also wrote.

You may wonder how I could forget about these things! (I wonder too…!) But it is probably because I am a bit of a workaholic, and once something is finished I tend to quickly move on to the next project. Also, magazines are created many months ahead of publication. So while the magazine has just come out now, I wrote the articles and made the project months ago.

The Mountmellick Passionflower doily that was on the cover of Inspirations 55 was made in 2004, I think. It was submitted to Inspirations at the time, but sometimes projects just have to wait until the “right” issue.

For those who would like to make White Christmas, I stock both the Mountmellick thread and the satin jean fabric at the Vetty Creations website. In the past week I have had many people tell me that they are going to make it, which is just lovely to hear. I’d love to hear from you if you make it too.
