Final Round Robin Block

Sadly, the round robin has come to an end.  This is my final block which I have stitched for Lori Truzy.  She made up the brightest summer blocks to stitch up in a summer theme.  She said she wanted to use her blocks for a nice table runner so I did my best to keep things reasonably flat and washable.

I avoided the silk ribbon treatments (not easily washable) and sent her a little package of extra bright lace flowers and buttons to scatter around her finished table runner which will help pull everything together in the end.

It was fun to stitch up these five round robin blocks and I look forward to seeing how mine turned out when they are returned to me.  Go to "RR-1930 Vintage on the Farm" label for viewing my set of blocks.  I will post them all once they have been returned to me.  Hugs til next time.  Have a crazy day!!

Outside My Comfort Zone!!

Oh my, I see it's been awhile since I last posted.  I received Sarma's round robin blocks on Friday.  At first I was going to set them aside and have a good think on what to stitch.  I have never attempted anything with an Asian theme so was a little bit out of my comfort zone with this one.  When I was routing around in my charms on Saturday I came across some tiger charms and the light bulb went off.  Perfect....for this project.  She used the loveliest silks and satins and I hated to cover them up.  I used a brown piece of lace to balance the brown in the opposite corner and stayed with black and gold metallic threads for the stitching.  The stitching was done in a way to make your eye travel around the block in the same direction as the tigers chasing each other.  I pulled all the colors together with a nice silk floral cluster.  I hope it works for her.

Novice Round Robin

Finished up another block in the Novice Round Robin.  This one is for Gina Smith in Wales.  She was asking for an "In the Garden" look.  I gave her some blueberries and raspberries with a spider web for luck.  A row of bunnies eyeing up the feast. 

Sheila's Round Robin CQ Block

 

First and Definityly not the Last

As mentioned last month I have started a Round Robin in my Crazy Quilt International group, with 5 other ladies.  I just mailed off my first attempt at this block by Maggie K.  Her 6.5 inch square blocks are in a patriotic red, white and blue.  Here is my finished block.

 

I am now working on Sheila's block in a very pretty dusty rose and sage green and will post a photo tomorrow.  I just have one little final touch to make on it and it'll be finished.
