How much fun!! Round Robins were my favorite thing to do 10 years ago when I was part of an online community. I have some lovely tops as memories and cherish each one! I think I'll be as excited as you guys to watch these tops grow and develop. Can't wait to see more pictures! I just found this group, so I'm not signed up for any swaps yet, and will be living vicariously through you all

Alikat110, glad you could join us! and happy to 'hear' my center arrived to you safely- I am anxious for the first one to arrive at my door- it has been a 'quiet' group- which kind of keeps me *stressed* but trying to stay positive & sure we will all stay involved & it will all work out in the end. I am excited to get started & already have a group of fabrics for yours when it finally gets to me- since I send to you I will be adding the final border to yours- oh what fun! I love blue & yellows together. I hope the person sending to me is ready!

Hi Everyone...my center is out and on it's way to musicaljan. I can't wait to get the one I'm supposed to work on. I really love a round robin. I don't have a pic of my center because I don't do well with the camera and my husband is not available to help out. Actually, he forgot to take the picture for me before he left on a business trip, but he'll take pics as I do my turn with each center so you can all see the progress of your center. My center is a hand-stitched antique block that I found at a flea market a while back. I didn't want to do the expected cushion or just frame it. Then this came along and as I was considering what I'd do, the light bulb went off and I know that you all will do it justice and maybe with your knowledge of fabrics be able to help me date the piece. Can't wait to get started!

musicaljan, did you receive the center I sent out on the 1st?

ckcowl

marslaura, have you sent me your center yet? please let me know when to expect it so I can be prepared for it.

Haven't received a center yet & don't have confirmation of the center I sent?????

here we are the middle of October= I've not heard ANYTHING from the person who is supposed to be mailing to me- have no idea if she is still part of the group- if I will be receiving a center===if anyone who sends anything to her will ever see it again. Round Robins can be great===but when there is not good communication and members who do not participate it can become a very stressful - not so fun project.

Cjoyce - Alikat110 stepped in at the last moment for paperpieceme. I will send her a PM and check to make sure everything is still a go.

I am contacting the other 2 members tonight and will do my best to get an answer to the situation ASAP.

I'm not shy - just incredibly busy. I also had an accident which put my sewing time on hold. But my block is finished and ready. I also have received c joyce's block (pm'd). I will try to post pictures of both today- if my dinosaur of a laptop will cooperate. I love round robins! Excited to start.
