The Southern Cross Crazies Round Robin is over and I have received my blocks back. I sent off 5 base blocks earlier this year and one by one they have been embroidered by the other participants and now I have them back.
It was supposed to be a tone on tone round robin which means that the embroidery should be in the same colours as the base block, I said that they could do whatever they wanted. It's fun to look at what they have done. Everyone has a different style.

I don't have any plans for the blocks; they will go into the pile with the previous round robins that I have participated in. One day when I get enough I might get them out and put them all into a quilt.
I got a surprise in the mail the other day, Florence had been dyeing some laces and she sent me some. What a kind thing to do.

Bye for now,

I look forward to seeing what you will do with all your blocks. I have plans for a crazy block quilt, but done with the machine and not by hand!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I might do something with the blocks eventually. I have done some crazy quilts by machine using free machine stitching and it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are wonderful! Each lady did a great job and I am impressed with the greens and aqua colors...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robbie, I almost wish that I had kept all the blocks in the aqua colour but I suppose it might make for a more interesting quilt in the end.
ReplyDeleteWow! there are some talented people in this swap!
ReplyDeleteI agree Mary, we have some very talented embroiderers in the group.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gina, I agree, they did a lovely job
