Quilters, rejoice! A delightful new, free project has just landed on the Janome Canada website; the Prairie Plaid quilt pattern, designed by our Janome Canada Maker, the incredibly talented Erin Kroeker of The Blanket Statement.
Erin's journey into the world of quilting began with a deep passion for both the craft and quilt community. Her designs reflect her commitment to creating quilts which are not only functional, but also pieces of art which tell a story.
You will find the Prairie Plaid pattern on the Janome Canada website under the Inspire Tab, located in the Canadian Project Section. Janome Canada has long been a trusted source for high-quality sewing machines and accessories, and our project patterns are no exception. The Prairie Plaid pattern stands out among the collection, showcasing Janome's dedication to supporting Canadian quilting traditions while inspiring creativity. For those eager to dive into this new project, the pattern is readily available to download, making it easy to start your quilting adventure. Erin made this quilt on her Janome Continental M8 Professional, however, you can make it on whatever your Janome sewing machine with a Janome 1/4 inch seam foot.
What makes the Prairie Plaid quilt truly special is its creative twist on the classic Buffalo Check pattern. Inspired by the gentle sway of prairie grasses in the wind, this design captures a sense of breezy movement that makes it look as though it's dancing. The quilt is composed entirely of Flying Geese blocks, which is a playful nod to the iconic Canadian geese that are such a beloved part of our landscape. This clever use of flying geese not only adds a whimsical touch, but also infuses the quilt with a sense of nostalgia and modern charm.
The Prairie Plaid quilt is more than just a new project; it's an invitation to blend a touch of whimsy with a dash of nostalgia. Whether you're an experienced quilter or a novice looking to try something new, Prairie Plaid offers a wonderful opportunity to create something truly special.
So, grab your sewing machine, and let the Prairie Plaid pattern inspire you to create a quilt that captures the essence of the prairie breeze. With Erin's expert design and the support of Janome Canada's resources, your next quilting project is sure to be both enjoyable and rewarding.
Happy quilting!
