LHN/CCN Stitching Needlework Round Robin

I had a wonderfully fantastic mailday when my RR arrived home safely on Tuesday. This has travelled inland to 4 cities over 3 states and took a flight to South Carolina, USA before coming home sweet home. The journey began on January 2011 and it came home before its due date in October 2011

Charts: A Stitcher's Prayer ( Lillie), The Sampler Girl (Diane), Curly Q Ewe ( Margaret),

Quilting (Joanne), Embroidery Guild (June)

All chart except A Stitcher's Prayer has been cropped to fit in the 100ct x 100ct square

Fabric: Lakeside Linen 32ct Pearly Barley

Stitched two over two

(the fabric color is actually a bit more tanned rather than looking grey here)

Floss: All DMCs

All OD Conversion to DMC - my choice of colors to compliment my fabric

I can't thank all the ladies enough, its how I had envision it to be. I hope to put up an update of all the ladies RR in my blog when everyone received theirs sometime in October 2011 and hopefully by then I have completed the border for mine and sent it for framing.

In the meanwhile I am still on cloud nine.
