Round Robin Sampler #11

I joined yet another Round Robin Sampler swap. I had to stitch a whole new sampler for this one because the last one that was sent to me will be completed by me and sent to the original stitcher. I'm almost completed with that one. Had a few issues with it that needs attention before sending it off. I'll post when completed. The one this post is about was just sent to the Netherlands for a second sampler to be stitched on it. Here is what it looked like before sending it off.

Round Robin Sampler #10

I joined a very fun cross stitching group swap that I truely enjoy. We basically stitch on a piece of stitching fabric and pass it along to the next stitcher. When the piece is finally completed, it is sent back to the original stitcher. You can read more about it here.

I created a brand new piece because I just started this group, so here is what I did so far.

I can't wait to see the finished piece months from now. The one that was sent to me is almost completed. I get to stitch the last sampler and send it back to the original stitcher. I'll post photos of that one in the near future.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. Please don't forget to post me a comment. :)
