Inspired by Traditions

Take a look! To make this theme more playful I asked designers to put a modern spin to their projects, keeping colours bright, giving traditional quilt blocks a fresh look, and using vintage fabric and embroideries to create modern designs. From ancient rituals to modern practices, we explore how traditions shape our needlework and contribute to the richness of our craft.

We take a look at how pattern writing has improved over the recent decades with Cynthia MacDougall’s article, "A Knitting Pattern Primer". The formatting of pattern writing has greatly improved over the recent decades. Patterns include more valuable information when considering a knitting project and have made knitting not only more enjoyable for all skill levels but more attainable to new knitters. The improvement of pattern writing across all categories of needlework has increased the joy and excitement in engaging in our craft.

Join us as we delve into the captivating stories behind these cherished customs, and may they inspire you to embrace and cherish the traditions that make your own life extraordinary.

Cheerfully,
