Hearts and Stars

The blocks this month are Mock Trapunto Hearts and Stars. Mock Trapunto uses Hi Loft Batting and knock-down stitches to create a loft area in the block. There are two main blocks and two corner blocks. I’ve also included two small center designs. These blocks are all stitching and make a nice Baby Quilt or combine with other blocks as borders and corners

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 Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine 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 or Embroidery Machines.
