In conjunction with the release of Janome's newest PC Design Card #1016 (Teddy Bear Collection), Janome Digest No. 18 features two projects that make the most of this adorable new embroidery design collection: a wonderful set of warm winter togs and a cozy crib ensemble.

For cuddling up by the winter fireside, there's a blanket serged together from sweaters. The upcoming holiday season is well represented with tree skirts and matching ornaments, an angel tree topper, and a pair of festive table runners from Sweden.

Carol Cruise gives her tips for faux fur embroidery. And, the exciting new Quilter's Companion series of machines are featured in a lovely quilted tablecloth and napkins project.

Before that pile of sweaters goes off to Goodwill, consider tackling Maddie Bushman's serged sweater blanket. Maddie used her own sweaters to create an ingenious recycled patchwork blanket.

Readers can browse through five pages of beautiful tree skirts with matching ornaments. There's something for every decorating style, from traditional to country to heirloom. Instructions for all eight sets will be available on Janome Online (www.janome.com) on a semi-monthly basis through the end of the year.

Janome Digest moves them into the kitchen with a fabulous patchwork tablecloth and coordinating napkins. Creator Nancy Burg used the new Janome Quilter's Companion machines.

When Digest readers first met Mia Ohberg, a Janome dealer in Surahammar, Sweden, she was showing off her unique digitized quilting designs. Her project generated so many great comments, she's returned in this Issue with a lovely set of quilted and embroidered holiday table runners and a matching pillow.
