The Design Collective - CHRISTMAS - Book by Inspirations Studios, Australia, Featuring 12 Designers

  • $45.55


  In the second volume of The Design Collective series, we’re celebrating Christmas in stitch.

We asked twelve of the world’s most talented needlework artisans to each design a project to celebrate Christmas with stitch.

Each designer was given the same brief. There were no rules. No guidelines. The only criteria: a connection to Christmas.

The result? A fabulous range of unique responses, including ornaments and decorations for your home, special gifts and a spectacular bonbon for the Christmas table.
