International Pictogram Project- Red and Green

The BERNINA Australia office has been awash with red and green this week as Kerrie Hay, our National Product Educator, and Bree Ledingham, our Sales and Training Consultant for NSW, got creative with the BERNINA International pictogram challenge.

When Kerrie saw the vibrate red of her felt, roses were the first thing that sprang to mind. Nature can offer the most stunning inspiration, but with our busy lives we so rarely take the time to truly appreciate it. Kerrie has used felt flowers, organza ribbon, decorative stitches and free motion stitching to remind us all to:

“TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES”

Bree got excited when she saw that there were “No Rules” for this challenge. But that got her thinking:

“Can you break the rules if you don’t know them in the first place?”

This piece is a tribute to all the teachers out there focused on the technical side of sewing. Although Bree may of cursed their ridged ways when she was a student, and scowled at every 1/3 miniature sample they made her sew, without that knowledge you would never know what rules could be broken. Or if not broken, at least stretched to the limit.
