Embroidery Contest 2005

This participant sent in photos of the jacket she made for her sister. The sister travels a fair bit, so the participant decided to make the jacket portray some of the places she has been to. The designs represent Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti. She also wanted to include the family and chose a Fairy with a Cherry for the sister's eldest daughter, Bluebell for her granddaughter, the Artist Fairy for another daughter, and a Fairy with a Lantern for her youngest. The Elf Fairy symbolises her son-in-law. The picture of Wendy is meant to be the participant's mom (that's how she appears on an old photo).

All the designs were stitched on a Janome MC300E embroidery machine.
