Round Robin Update

Huzzah!   I finally finished my band on the round robin to ship it out to the next person.   I should have mailed this off in April - that's how far behind I am.   I have a second round robin already, but I have a plan for that and should have it done this week.

There was a third round robin that I went ahead and sent on, because it was getting ridiculous.  I'm so glad to have a good group of friends to be doing this round robin with.  They've been utterly patient with me and we all just keep going.

I think part of it is, almost everyone has had a hiccup at some point (though mine is the worst) and since it is a group of friends, it's not as formal as an online one would be (thank the baby octopus - after my whole stress out situation from March-June, I would have been banned from ever participating in one again!)

So here is Annette's.   She only gave a color scheme (Thread Gatherer Silk N Colors - Halloween Confetti) and asked us to put our initials at the end of our band.

I decided to have a little fun with it.  All but the copper color in the Sandworm was stitched in Dinky Dye silks or the Thread Gatherer supplied.   The Coppery color is an overdye, but I don't remember which one off the top of my head.

Here's my band below Kathy's:

I liked the way it came out... somewhat normal, but a lot of fun. I really like the way the colors worked on the satin fan band.

Here's a breakdown of the bands:

1. Herringbone stitches - a band from Tywyn Sampler, my favorite stitch of all time.
2. A fun stitch I've been wanting to try - that one is done using the Halloween Confetti threads
3. Sandworm from Little Alien Schoolgirl (by InkCircles).  I love that pattern, and Dune is probably my all time favorite sci-fi (overall.
4. Both of those bands are from a pattern in an old JCS that I have never gotten around to stitching.
