Started Leslie's Neighborhood RR


I started Leslie's Neighborhood Round Robin tonight. It is another one that due to miscommunication months ago in the RR group, ended up arriving late to me. If I can finish it up in two weeks, I can keep it on schedule. As you can imagine, that is my plan. Leslie's RR is really pretty - has great colors in it. The partially stitched block in the upper left is a bit of a mystery. I sure hope the stitcher who didn't finish still plans to do so.... I chose to stitch Willow House by Blackbird Designs down in the bottom center. I pulled all the Weeks Dye Works floss for it and could not resist the colors. Leslie's RR doesn't have a theme, so I figure I will go for it. I just love her 40 ct R&R Reproductions linen - nice!! I think I can meet the August 1 mailing date, as what I did tonight already moved along quite quickly.

I was recently involved in a Stitcher's Lottery over in a small stitching group. I don't think I will be participating much with this group any longer. The communication between the members there is poor. I was in a biscornu exchange over there earlier this year and I felt the same way. By now, the winner shall have received my prize, and I really doubt she even knows where my blog is, let alone read it, so I shall show what I sent now... I hope she liked it.

I am sure you will add a lovely house to Leslie's neighborhood. What a shame when these neighborhoods go awry.
I love your "No Frogs Allowed". They seem to have taken up residence at my house these days as I work on a PS piece

What a darling pinkeep! The colours are so vibrant.
You've got a great start on the RR.
It's too bad that sometimes these get off schedule.

Sounds like you've been in some groups where the communication hasn't been too clear. I hope that hasn't diminished your stitching pleasure.

That NRR is looking great! If anyone can stitch on a tight deadline, it's you! So sorry to hear about the exchange group - how disappointing. Love those froggies though!
