Janome Life 
I made most of my Christmas gifts with my Janome S5, 500e, and Pro40X using various stitches and feet. I made an apron for my oldest daughter, embroidered a t-shirt for my son-in-law and did a Nativity Banner for my grandchildren’s school. I did a memory quilt for my youngest daughter memorializing all her dance career. I made 3 Christmas stockings for my middle daughters new family – embroidering them, serging them and finishing up on my sewing machine and a cloth book from a panel for my 6 week old grandson. I embroidered ITH 2 dozen poinsettia tea lite covers for my knitting groups Christmas Luncheon. I made and embroidered a tea cozy for my parents. A dozen little hanging ornaments for fellow strata board members. To finish up I made a “Grinch” wreath, some table toppers and napkins for myself!

I made 10, yes 10 in the hoop (partial) make up bags. I stitched out the front and the back of the bag on my 15000 machine. When I completed to embroidery on the first bag I used my 8900 to assemble the bag. I used the snap on zipper foot to sew the zippers and the A foot to assemble the bags. As each bag finished in the hoop I was ready to assemble the next one.

This Christmas I sewed up two pair of little girls pajamas for my 3 yr old grand daughters. The pattern called for piping along the collar, sleeves & plackets. My Janome 6600 did a lovely job, & I used my zipper foot (standard) to sew the piping into place. The other foot I used which I was pleased with was my button holler, although it was a little temperamental with the flannel fabric, I managed to complete the project successfully.

On my MC1500 this year I embroidered Santa’s Workshop Tiling Scene by Dona Gelsinger. This was the most ambitious embroidery project I have ever done. It consisted of 32 tiles that took an hour or more to stitch out each one. I really enjoyed using the apps and found the the AD walking foot was great for piecing the tiles together.
