So Much New & So Much To Do!

It’s been a BIG start to 2026 around here at Inspirations HQ.

We’re not even at the end of March yet we’ve already launched three new publications.

In case you missed any of the recent announcements, here is a quick recap as to what’s new and some amazing projects to do!

Life in Seasons 2 | Summer & Autumn

The highly anticipated second volume of Nicola’s stunning Life in Seasons series has finally arrived.

Volume 2 features eight gorgeous new projects celebrating Summer and Autumn, which flows seamlessly from Volume 1 where we enjoyed Winter and Spring.

Every element of these two books has been carefully considered to create an immersive experience as you join Nicola on a journey of discovery as she captures all four seasons in stitch during walks with her dog Quince in the English countryside.

Printed copies of Life in Seasons Volume 1 and 2 are now available, as are Ready-to-Stitch kits for the eight stunning new projects featured in Volume 2.

Inspirations Magazine issue #129

The first release of Inspirations magazine for 2026, issue #129, is setting a high bar indeed.

Carolyn Stanton’s brand new felt friend Harnie the Hen and Betsy Morgan’s counted thread piece Stuart Reticule are two initial stand outs from this issue thus far, but the high calibre of projects rolls deep.

In fact, this issue has proven so popular that Ready-to-Stitch kits are becoming as rare as hen's teeth - or in this instance, as rare as Harnie kits as they have now sold out, and the pre-order window has closed.

The good news is that the pre-order window for Stuart Reticule Ready-to-Stitch kits is still open.

If you want to secure yourself a kit for this gorgeous project, click HERE to place your order today, as after 29th March these too will be sold out.

Otherwise, use the links below to check out which kits from Issue #129 are still available — and if you find one you like, snap it up quick!

The Handpicked Collection 6

Just like a sumptuous box of assorted chocolates, each Handpicked Collection contains a dazzling array of stitching joy, just waiting for you to select your favourites.

In the latest release, you’ll be tempted with such delights as stumpwork botanical beauties, a goldwork flower wreath and swirling floral designs, just to name a few.

If you’re someone who likes to consult the map before choosing a chocolate from the assortment, we have an equivalent you can use for The Handpicked Collection 6 HERE.
