<p>Andrea was one of the contributors to our Summer 2017 Look Book entitled Cross Canada Picnic. She made a set of really cool <a href="http://www.janomemaker.com/">French style picnic pillows which may be found in our Look Book. </a>which is shown in the pic above and at the top of this post. We would like to point you in the direction of the full instructions of how Andrea made these pillows: <a href="http://www.janomemaker.com/assets/how_to-french_cushions.pdf">These may be found on www.janomemaker.com </a></p>
<p>Thank you to Andrea, one of our Janome Canada artisans,  for sharing her expertise with us.</p>
