Flower Fairies II - DYB Round Robin

This was another Flower Fairies themed DYB (Do Your Own Block) round robin, where each participant pieced six 6” blocks.  Then, as they rotate through the stitchers, each woman stitches and embellishes one complete block.  When they return to the owner, five out of the six blocks are complete, leaving her the sixth one to do herself.


The participants in this Flower Fairies II round robin were Carolyn P, Darlene D, Maria S, Rita C and Cathy L.
