Prize - £10 voucher to spend on designs at Meryl Makes
It is getting harder and harder to pick a showcase winner but Janet Stewart’s quilt immediately caught our eye. She has used one of the popular Charlie’s Card designs in this stunning project.
Janet tells me that she has been sewing all her life, but only got into embroidery and quilting about 6 years ago. For about a year she attended a quilting class which inspired her to add embroidery to her designs. Her first machine was a Janome 350e but the 5x7 hoop size soon proved to be too limiting. A Brother V3 was Janet’s next machine, but that has now been replaced by a Brother XV. This latest embroidery and sewing machine is definitely put to good use in Yorkshire, where Janet lives. She made embroidered cards for friends and family at Christmas. This use of the Charlie’s Card No 1 design, shows just how versatile machine embroidery can be – stitching the design on a card one moment and a quilt the next. Apparently there are more quilts in the pipeline using Meryl Makes designs and I for one, can’t wait to see what Janet produces next.
Congratulations Janet
