Janome Education Summit
This past week was one I'll never forget. I was invited to attend the first Janome Education Summit in Park Ridge, New Jersey to meet some amazing people and learn some awesome new things about what Janome has coming up! The Janome Education Summit consisted of Janome Educators, Artisans, and Makers--generally a group of the most amazing people, packed with three days of classes and collaboration.It had been about 7 years since I had flown anywhere, and I was REALLY nervous about getting on a plane and leaving my 1.5 year old, but once I made it to NJ, I was SO excited to be there! I've been working with the amazing people at Janome America for almost three years now, and had never really gotten the chance to visit with them for longer than 5 minutes. We had a nice meet and greet to kick off the first night there, and the opening remarks were made by Janome's new National Spokesperson-Kimberly Einmo.Kimberly taught a great class showing us the HP foot and needle plate for the MC 9400 and we made a really cool block using her Flying Geese ruler (it virtually eliminates ALL waste) and a design roll of her new Solid-ish line of fabrics. If you've never taken a class with Kimberly, I highly recommend it. She is so inspiring and has such a genuinely fun personality![caption id="attachment_1080" align="aligncenter" width="255"] Professional HP Foot[/caption]I've been using the Quarter inch foot for precision sewing on my MC9400 and had never thought to try the HP foot and needle plate. Total game changer!!! If I thought my seams were accurate before, this foot is even more precise.[caption id="attachment_1086" align="aligncenter" width="300"] My finished block from Kimberly's class using Solid-ish[/caption]Amy Johnson of Amy's Quilting Adventures demonstrated a set of rulers for ruler work on the domestic sewing machine. Amy provided all of the attendees with a printed piece of fabric to practice our ruler work on. I had never tried to use rulers (except maybe a straight edge) on a domestic sewing machine, but these rulers from Janome are so versatile and fun to work with. Here's a picture I took of Amy's sample quilt she quilted--and it's AMAZING!!![caption id="attachment_1066" align="aligncenter" width="264"] Amy Johnson's sampler quilt[/caption]And this is my very first try at ruler work on the MC9400--it's definitely one of those things you have to practice a few times. And some tools that would be good to have on hand--grab a Supreme Slider for the bed of the machine and some quilting gloves to keep your rulers from sliding.[caption id="attachment_1065" align="aligncenter" width="284"] Practicing Ruler work on the Janome MC9400[/caption]The second night at the Janome Education Summit, we had a pajama party and worked on some of our group quilt blocks that each attendee designed and brought with them to the summit. We were also treated to Liz Thompson (Janome Canada) showing off the awesome quilt binder attachment to save time and fabric when binding quilts![caption id="attachment_1068" align="aligncenter" width="222"] Liz teaching us about the quilt binder attachment[/caption]Liz has the best sense of humor and is such a fun person to chat with! I can't wait to start using the quilt binder--you only have to sew the binding down once--no stitch and flip to do the other side!On the second day of Janome Education Summit, Sheryl and Rachel from Shannon Fabrics brought us some delightful Shannon Cuddle and Embrace blanket kits. They shared some super soft fabrics with us and walked us through a blanket pattern that seemed like it would take all day--but we finished them in under 2 hours with the quilt as you go method![caption id="attachment_1069" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Rachel and Sheryl from Shannon Fabrics[/caption][caption id="attachment_1070" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Putting the cuddle binding on my blanket[/caption]My daughter already claimed the blanket I made--I selected a kit in bright turquoise and teal with grey accents in double gauze and cuddle, and Gemma promptly ripped it away from me as soon as I got home :)Eileen Roche from DIME (Designs in Machine Embroidery) shared with us her amazing software to customize our own fabrics called My Fabric Designs--and it's so much fun to play with. I already have plans to create some custom fabrics for some bag linings to include my logo and colors--and there are so many fabric substrates!We were also treated to a lesson in the Acusketch app from Janome by Tamara Kate (a Michael Miller Fabrics Designer). Tamara is so talented and her fabrics and quilts are absolutely gorgeous! I was blown away by what the app is capable of, but you can make drawings within the app and transfer them to the MC15000 to be embroidered on your fabric. Essentially, you could have your child draw something special and have it forever preserved as an embroidery design (that's what came to my mind when I was playing with it--but of course it could be utilized in countless other ways!)[caption id="attachment_1071" align="aligncenter" width="230"] Tamara Kate Designs[/caption]The Janome America team surprised all of the attendees with a dinner cruise on the Hudson River, touring New York City. The weather was wonderful and the sunset was just breathtaking.[caption id="attachment_1073" align="aligncenter" width="205"] Dinner Cruise in NYC[/caption][caption id="attachment_1072" align="aligncenter" width="300"] NYC at sunset[/caption]To wrap up our final day at the Janome Education Summit, our last class was led by Heather Peterson of Girl Charlee to make a quick and elegant pencil skirt with Janome sergers and coverstitch machines. Heather shared all of the knit substrates offered on the site (holy cow, there are a LOT!), and provided each attendee with a pencil skirt kit. I thought there was no way we could go from start to finish in under two hours and have a completed skirt, but we did! We also got a sneak peek and got to use the new Janome serger that will be out shortly--I was squealing with delight![caption id="attachment_1075" align="aligncenter" width="213"] Heather Peterson, Girl Charlee[/caption]I selected a super cute blue floral knit from the kits Heather brought for us, and it turned out so cute! Trish from Trish Stitched posed for a quick picture with me with our finished skirts :)[caption id="attachment_1077" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Our Girl Charlee pencil skirts[/caption]Every moment of the Janome Education Summit was jam packed with great information that I can't wait to share with you in future posts. I can't believe I almost forgot to mention the swag bag--I literally had to fill an entire suitcase with nothing but goodies from all the sponsors and contributors (A huge thank you to all the sponsors!!!). I think the plane flying me home was struggling with that extra load! There were so many talented Educators, Artisans, and Makers in attendance, and each person has so many inspiring things to show with their Janome sewing machines! Thank you so much to Janome America for hosting such a wonderful and inspiring event.

The legacy of my Mamaw
About a month ago, my last living grandparent passed away. She was 95 years old, and I called her "Mamaw". F. Brownfield, 1920-2015From as far back as I can remember, my Mamaw has been my creative encourager. She was a painter and loved painting scenes of the Texas Hill Country and most of all, blue bonnets. She did gorgeous oil paintings, water colors, and acrylics, and even dabbled in some mixed media. Even though my Mamaw was primarily a painter, she was an amazing crafty person and sewist. She could look at an outfit in a store and draft her own pattern and make something that looked even better. When I would get to visit her, she would take me to museums and would set me up in her painting and sewing room with art supplies. It makes me a little sad that I didn't realize what an asset she was to me at the time and that I didn't ask for her to teach me. I did really enjoy every moment spent with my Mamaw, and I know I didn't take it for granted that I had her in my life. She inspired me to take art classes at a young age and had such a determination about life that I only hope I have some of that in me. I can only hope that I live to 95. My Mamaw had an amazing life and traveled and loved and lived well. Before my Papaw had passed, my Mamaw affectionately called him her "Cutie-cute". My family and I attended the memorial service last month, and I hadn't prepared myself to start going through her personal things, but that's what had to be done. It's really weird to think that once your life ends, the pieces left behind are just an echo of yourself--purchases you made, things you planned to finish, books you read...It happened that I am the only person with an interest in sewing/quilting in our family. As a result, I ended up taking home my Mamaw's sewing machines. I don't really plan to ever use them, but just having them around me is comforting. To have items that a loved one used to create things and see them every day is a sweet reminder of what my Mamaw means to me. I had so many cute little outfits when I was younger that she had made me on those sewing machines. Even though we had an idea that the end might be in sight for her, it didn't prepare me for the loss I felt when she passed. I guess having some of these things, along with patterns that her handwriting is on comforts me in a small way. I'm not sure that Mamaw ever used this machine a lot...she also had a Necchi and a Kenmore that were probably around 80's models. I believe this is a 1947 model featherweight, based off of the serial number. And then some of the books that she had written in out to the side...you can obviously tell this is totally in style right now ;)I know that my Mamaw left a huge legacy and I hope that my life has as much meaning as hers does. The impact she had on so many people and the artwork she created will inspire future generations. Maybe one day I'll have a daughter (or son) who will have the creative bug and appreciate some of the things she created as much as I do. My second cousin presented Mamaw's eulogy at the memorial, and described Mamaw as "a tough broad", which couldn't be more true. From losing both of her parents at a young age, weathering the storm of the great depression, raising a family, going back to school to get her bachelors degree and become a teacher, travelling the world, there were many things she overcame and had a can-do attitude about everything. She didn't dwell on things that she couldn't change, and she worked to change the things she could. I feel lucky that she was my grandma, and even though saying goodbye is hard, I know she's in heaven with my Papaw...he's fishing and she's painting up a storm.
