The BIG JANOME Skill Share with Stacey Chapman!
In 2022, Janome teamed up with the incredible Stacey Chapman to launch the BIG JANOME skill share. The goal of this project was to inspire stitchers to learn free motion embroidery. Stacey demonstrated how to create fabulous postcards celebrating Queen Elizabeth II jubilee. Sadly as we all know, later that same year her majesty The Queen passed away. From this moment on the skill share changed from celebrating the jubilee to celebrating the life of Queen Elizabeth II. The amazing postcards can be seen in a gallery below!
As part of the celebration of the Queen Elizabeth II, Stacey created two incredible portraits, proudly sponsored by Janome. These portraits were displayed at Sewing for Pleasure at the NEC alongside the postcards.

The Winners Quilt
Meet the winners!
Janome, together with Jenni have launched The BIG JANOME Skill Share. Our aim is to help create more quilters in the world and to celebrate the pride and joy that comes when you share a skill with another person. The BIG JANOME Skill Share collaboration is a development of Jenni Smith’s ‘Just One Quilt’ campaign.
The BIG JANOME Skill Share is about the journey of learning a new skill and sharing the experience, both from the mentor’s perspective and the student’s learning experience. It has the fantastic goal of giving current quilters the confidence to mentor those people who have always fancied trying to make a quilt and finding a whole new generation of quilters.
In 2021 Janome will celebrate its 100th Birthday
We are delighted to have over 100 participants and applications to take part have now closed. Even if you did not enter the competition you can still enjoy sharing the participants journeys with us and this may inspire you to make your own first quilt. The aim for participants is to document their journey. Mentors to help choose fabrics, lend a supportive hand, share the experience, and be rewarded with that magical feeling of having helped to create something special. Participants will have the opportunity to cement a friendship through the simple act of making.
