Asian Nights DYB Round Robin, 2012

This round robin was a DYB, or Do Your Own Block. Each participant pieces six blocks (6” or 15 cm square). As the blocks make their way around the rotation, each stitcher selects one block to completely stitch and embellish.  Unfortunately, some pictures are missing - we can only show what was provided to us.  

The stitchers for this round robin were Meg W., Carol D, Peggy R, Rita C, Sarma R, and Theresa F.

Roses, Roses, Roses Traditional RR, 2012

The participants in this RR created lovely blocks that were made even more lovely by the creative additions of roses by every stitcher.  The talented ladies who made this Roses round robin a visual delight were: Cathy L, Kathy S, Meg W, Rita C. and Ruby (with Connie K. doing some angel work for her).

CATHY L’S BLOCK

We don’t have a picture of Cathy’s naked block, but here are pictures of the work of the first stitcher, Kathy S.
