Issue 130 - Flower

This issue explores the enduring relationship between textiles and the botanical world. From gardens and florals to dye plants and decorative motifs, it traces the many ways flowers and foliage inspire makers. Features include visits to Jack Lenor Larsen’s thoughtfully designed garden, the delicate cut-paper florals of Fumi Imamura, and embroidered works from the Lanto Millington Synge collection at the Ulster Museum. Also included are stories of community stitching in Corsica, botanical inspiration in haute couture at the Palais Galliera in Paris, vintage tablecloths reworked into contemporary clothing, and a vibrant tribute to Liberty’s iconic Tana Lawn.
