GLORIOUS INSPIRATION, a design sourcebook, is a natural extension of the author's profoundly held conviction that anyone can create their own knitting and needlepoint designs. Here, Kaffe has chosen hundreds of objects and motifs from the decorative arts and the world of nature and grouped them into themes to inspire the artist in all of us. There are sections on Shells and Minerals, Small Creatures Wild Animals, Domestic Animals, Fruit and Foliage and Beautiful Blooms and the pieces illustrated range from paintings and ceramics to textiles and mosaics. By showing us what inspires him, Kaffe opens the door to anyone who would like to create and stitch unique designs. Kaffe's own interpretations of some of the 300 painted, beaded, embroidered or woven sources are included in the book to demonstrate his personal vision of the world around us and show how any reader can use the motifs and patterns to create their own special designs.

From the Publisher:
Kaffe Fassett is almost singlehandedly responsible for changing the image of knitting and needlework from mumsy to designer chic. As the Financial Times wrote, ‘Everybody who sees a Kaffe Fassett design can scarcely wait to own one.’
Book Description:
Here he updates the classic patchwork quilt to include designs reminiscent of, for example, Klimt; there are seven other titles available from Ebury to cover every taste and style – Mosaics, Kaffe’s Classics, Glorious Interiors, Glorious Inspiration, Glorious Knitting, Glorious Needlepoint and Kaffe Fassett’s Family Album.
The ultimate sourcebook for all Kaffe Fassett knitting and needlepoint fans, as well as anyone involved in design and the decorative arts.
