There is another Round Robin I am participating in on Swap-Bot. This piece involves Blackwork Embroidery. I have never heard of this type of stitching before, so I looked in my cross stitching books and studied up on it. Very interesting and tedious. So I gave it a try and created a pattern of my own with the patterns provided in one of my books.
