LUSCIOUS LACE DYB Round Robin, 2010

2012-01-28T21:07:00.000-08:00

In late 2010, two Luscious Lace round robins finished up. One was a DYB (Do your Block) RR, which is this one. In the next post we will show the Luscious Lace traditional (one block per stitcher) RR.

The talented stitchers in this DYB were Arlene and Peggy Sue from Australia, and Nicki Lee , Gayle, Cathy L and Lisa from the USA.

I would like to apologize in advance for the poor quality of some of the pictures. Some of these were originally uploaded to our databases in a small size so that enlarging them for the blog resulted in loss of quality. CK

This is a project very close to my heart. I've just created a logo (such as it is, i'm new to Adobe Photoshop) that we can use to help draw signigicance to this specific project! We will be creating wall hangings that will be displayed in the International Quilt Festival in Tokyo in coordination with Patchwork Tsushin. Any one

interested in participating in making a block or a full wall hanging is encouraged to get in touch with me at pinyoncreekq@q.com for guidelines, etc.! Thanks go out to everyone already participating!

I have just created a flickr group where anyone participating in the project can display the blocks that they are creating from start to finish. The completed quilts will also be displayed there.
