The Peaks

This month’s Block is The Peaks, my version of the amazing artwork at the Salt Lake City Airport.

I just returned from Bernina University, which was held in Salt Lake City this year and provided my first view of the Wasatch Mountains. The Wasatch Mountains inspired the creation of the Peaks Sculpture. The five Peaks pay homage to the five major Native American tribes of Utah: the Ute, Diné (Navajo), Paiute, Goshute, and Shoshone.

Technique this month: Rag Edge Appliqué.

Content included with the course:

Video Supplement with step-by-step instructions

Downloadable content included with the course:

Project Sheet with supplies, materials list, and Design info

Embroidery file in .jef, .pes, exp, BQM and .vp3 formats

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.
