Be My Valentine DYB (Round Robin, 2012

This was a fun Valentine-themed round robin that six very talented ladies participated in.  They were Cathy L (Iowa, USA), Connie K (Colorado, USA), Nicki Lee S, (MA, USA), Alice T (Australia),  Elizabeth (MA, USA), and Lisa B (AZ, USA), with Arlene of Australia as Angel.

In a DYB (Do your block) round robin, each participant makes six smaller (6”) blocks. As they are mailed around, each stitcher picks one block and embellishes it fully.  When they arrive home, all blocks except one are done.  The owner of the blocks gets to complete the sixth and has enough blocks for a small project!

We apologize in advance for missing pictures, but some were not photographed or provided to us.

ELIZABETH’S BLOCKS

Elizabeth (Ely) did not have a camera, so the pictures of her blocks are just those that the stitchers took of their finished work.

LISA’S BLOCKS

Lisa had to withdraw from the round robin, so there are only two blocks that were worked on. Arlene did the Angel work for Lisa.  These beautiful, low-color blocks are gorgeous just as they are!
