Fabulous First-Timers #8

The Fabulous First Timers Round Robin #8 resulted in some beautifully-stitched crazy quilting pieces.  The stitchers who participated were Toni P, Candji, Christine, Maria S from Portugal and Paula R.  Let's look at their work.

Maria added lots of interesting tatted and crocheted items.

Not all of the stitchers uploaded their pictures, so we are missing information.  But this is the almost-completed block.  Lovely!

Fabulous First-Timers #7

Another Fabulous First-Timers round robin, #7,  was completed in 2009.  The participants in this RR were all accomplished stitchers.   Most were just new to the CQI group, and Gerry was the RR "momma" - the veteran stitcher who paced and kept track of things.  These blocks turned out beautifully, and we're sure you'll enjoy the eye candy!  The stitchers were Diane in Ontario, Nicki Lee, Faye, Mary and Gerry K.
