This month's Block is the Arkansas Traveler and can be used as either a standalone block or a companion block to the February blocks, Hearts and Diamonds. This quick and straightforward Raw Edge Appliqué Block works as a Main Block or Border and pairs well with the stitching-only Diamond block and the stitching-only Hearts and Diamonds blocks from February. I've also provided the stitching-only Block in Bernina's BQM format for the B 790 and B 990 models. The Diamond block makes a nice secondary diagonal design.

Hi I'm PJ



Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock & Bernina Serger Club, PJ's Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.

I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers and Embroidery Machines.
