More about inspiration

I'm still sewing so I thought I would write more about the inspiring people I know and how they share:
Asny (Jes)-lives in Minot and is a great resource on all things Norse. She is constantly sewing, researching, trying new things and sharing. Recently, I commented on a lovely headdress she made for spring crown and shortly after, she made up 20 of the wire spirals for my Finnish head dress. She is the push behind the the Patty Anne LeProject (see facebook) and she encourages and inspires all the time.
Isobel (Sally)-is part of the Silfen Mere group. She seems to be a wiz at whatever she turns her hand to. Her beading is wonderful and she's always trying new techniques. She recently made a particoloured cotehardie that was stunning! I'm tempted to make one.
Xristinia (Ninka/Melina)-lives in Kingston and is the main reason I'm doing the 50 for 50. She does beautiful Byzantine and related garb. No matter the situation, she always has the proper headwear and layers to look stunning.
Ailinore (Becky)-another friend from Silfen Mere. Her research is far better than mine will ever be and I have to thank her for looking up stuff and sharing links with me. It helps so much! Her cooking keeps the inspiration flowing, particularly those fritters from WW-yum!
Yvan(John)-is from WI and the latest embroidery laurel for Northshield. I met him a few years ago when he taught a basic sewing class at Gimli. His embroidery is stunning and the quality of his stitching is great. He teaches as much as he can and will share tips and techniques with anyone who asks. See my pics from Nordskogen's 12th night in 2010 to see his ecclesiastical piece. Better than what I had seen in the cathedrals in England.
More inspirations will come down the line.
