Created by: The Janome Canada Education Team Celine Ross, Michael Smith, Liz Thompson, Anne Stitcher, Erin Aumack
The educators at Janome Canada worked on this project. Graphics/Artwork of a peacock and a lotus flower was requested from Tania at our Oakville office. Celine digitized the 2 designs and then the education team got busy embroidering blocks using these designs. We were all working within the same colour theme as per fabrics supplied to each educator. However, how we interpreted each block and how we stitched them out was an individual educator artistic choice. Some blocks were partly appliqued-in-the-hoop rather than stitching the whole design with embroidery stitches. Other blocks had additions like crystals. In addition to the peacock and lotus flower embroidered blocks, we also asked everyone to make a few blocks using the AcuFil quilting hoop. The quilting-in-the-hoop designs used were decided by the individual educators.
