IT FINALLY CAME HOME!!!!!



Nope...not my Ipad...still waiting on that...but my Victorian Village Round Robin FINALLY came home!!!! I mailed this RR to Angela in May, 2009. It came home FINALLY on Sunday, May 22, 2011. Yes, there were many speed bumps in the road for this RR but I do LOVE how it turned out. I fell in love with design when it first came out. It was first published in the US Cross Stitcher Magazine in December, 1993. It was designed to use the entire DMC Flower Thread collection. However, I used just plain ol' DMC. It was also supposed to be stitched on an afghan but I changed it to hand dyed blue aida. I want to thank Angela, Janeth, Mary, Carol, Barb, and a mystery stitcher who didn't sign their name! Especially to Carol who stepped in and stitched a design even though she wasn't on the original list!!!! I still have 5 buildings to stitch but I am so happy to have it home!!!


Just had to throw in a picture of Jag and Bert. This is how I usually find Bert in the morning, with Jabba Jag sitting on top of him. Jag likes to put Bert in his place!

What a cute RR! Glad it arrived home safely. I participanted in a RR years ago -- my first and only as it "disappeared" after being sent to the first person.

I did this one years ago on the afghan! Right now, I'm not sure where that is....I should go look! I'm sure I didn't throw it out. I know how nice it is to have a long term RR come home. I got mine back after 2 years and only had to finish 2 blocks. Now I just need to "finish" it. Waiting for Christmas material to hit the stores! I thought your big cat was playing with a toy until I enlarged the photo!
