Good spirits are contagious – so, unfortunately, are the grumps. Certainly, a cheerful mood seems to inspire greater creativity and a more active body and mind, as well as helping life flow more easily. Your fellow human beings will thank you for it. So head high and get on with it! Talk yourself into a good mood, and let yourself be ‘infected’ by others’ cheerfulness. Get out into the first warm days of spring and soak up the first weak rays of sunshine – it’s been proven to raise the spirits! Take this issue of inspiration along with you – it will do its bit to help lift your mood.
Armed thus, you can set to work with fresh resolve, and your good mood will receive yet another boost once you can proudly show off your completed projects.
 
And don’t be too disappointed if you can’t get hold of your favourite fabric from inspiration. Even though we always choose fabrics from wholesalers that our BERNINA dealers also use, unfortunately there is no guarantee that the fabric in question will then be in stock. Just use another fabric, and then you can be even prouder for having created a genuine one-off. And spare a thought for our international readers, who can only dream of finding this fabric somewhere – necessity is the mother of invention for them as well!
 
Wishing you hours of enjoyment reading and creating,
 
Your Editorial Team and Claudia Giesser, Editor-in-Chief
