Shadow Blocks

The blocks this month are two in one designs. The blocks are either Raw Edge Applique or Shadow Work Blocks. Shadow Work Embroidery is a classic hand Embrdoiery technique. I’ve modified it to work with quilt blocks. This Month’s blocks are old standards: LeMoyne Star, Pin Wheel and On Point. The Shadow Work technique is accomplished by adding a layer of Voile fabric to the top of the block before the Applique stitch. There are four designs this month and each design has two color options

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.
