Design Inspiration Every Month

The logo for the Amanda Jane Textiles newsletter

Each month, in my Amanda Jane Textiles Newsletter, I offer an image to inspire you in your own designing and making. Last month I shared the January ‘Colour Inspiration’ image and text here.

This month I’m showing you the February ‘Design Inspiration’. You can see the image and text below:

This extraordinary building is composed of equilateral triangles in two shade of glass, formed into a cone shape with diamonds at the top. Some patchwork possibilities here, I think.
