A Round Robin Finish!

It's hard to believe that it is already December! I have most of my Christmas decorations up and plan on completing the whole transformation this weekend. I thoroughly enjoy my decorations once they are up, by the getting them all there is a bit of a chore!

I participated in my first Round Robin this year, the Quaker Friendship Sampler. I received my piece back this week and think it looks lovely. Many thanks to those who participated...Marti, Deb, Lynda, Sharyn & Clare. Some of us are going to continue on to a new RR together...The Hunt. I'm in the middle of picking out my colors for that one now. Do I want to go monotone or monochromatic or various colors? The choices, the choices! Still playing around with it a bit right now.

Anyhow...here is my finished piece straight out of the mailing package (sorry for the wrinkles):

Fabric: 32 ct Heather linen by Picture This Plus
Thread: Aged Plum by Silk 'n Colors

And here is Deb's piece that I finished stitching on this week and plan to get it in the mail to her ASAP. It was such fun to stitch Deb's since she had picked various colors for hers.



As for other stitching...I am working on a few small ornaments. Hope to have them finished by Christmas! :-)

A Little Seabathing!

I have a finish this week! It's a free chart by The Sampler Girl that can be found at her website.



I loved how Mary Kathryn did her piece a while back in the monochromatic style and decided to borrow her wonderful idea and do the same. I used threads that Sharon gave me in an exchange this summer for my color. The seashell fabric that the piece is laying on is also the backing fabric. This was my first time making my own twisted cording. I think it turned out fairly well.

Quaker Friendship Sampler

I have never participated in a Round Robin before, but thought I would like to give it a try. Hopefully I am using the right terminology for what I am asking. Would anyone be interested in doing one with me for this pattern:

I need 4-6 other people that are willing to do it and will be truly committed.

I would personally like a monochromatic piece, but if someone wanted the colored one I don't see why it couldn't be done for them.

I wouldn't want to start this until the end of the year and we could each take 2 -3 months for our portion (depending on amount of people/amount of stitching to be done) before we send it on. That way we would have it finished in a year and have a great piece by next Christmas.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with your email address and I will email you.

If you have participated in a round robin and know more how to go about this, please let me know since I am truly a novice at this.

Thanks so much!
