One down, one to go?

Finally finished up one of the pieces I was making for the SAHR. Who knows when the other will get finished,but at least this one is done.

Janet- Round 9 Flamingo

I'm really not sure what's going on with this one.  For round 9 I finally decided to applique another flamingo on it.  I think it's starting to balance out a bit.  I plan on quilting for round 10 on both of mine.  I'm just a little behind getting these done.

R9: Winter Star

R8 & R9: Vero

Janet- R9 Prairie

I've never embroidered before, so this was a challenge.  In fact, the entire SAHR has pushed me outside my comfort zone and that's why I'm loving this.  For this round on the prairie quilt I added some embroidered outlines to the wheat stalk to help define it.  The embroidery really does help the element.

 I have no idea what I'm going to do with the flamingo one yet, and I haven't decided what to do about round 10 yet.  I love seeing everyone else's ideas.

Thanks, Kate.

Rd 9: Cheryll S

Although I once again added applique (Xmas tree), I did add some machine embroidery and plan to add stars and a button to complete this round. Of course I can't actually sew the button on yet... but it is part of the whole picture. You have to look very closely to see all the tree pretties but they are there and look better in real life!

Hope you all enjoy round 9 and ThAnKs again to Kate!

Round 9!

I have been remiss with this round robin - partly because I have had company and been very busy and partly because as I haven't had a chance to do my own round 8, I wasn't really thinking about the next round yet!

Anyway, the step for this month is very similar to last month: applique or embroider something. May I encourage you to challenge yourself - if you have appliqued last month, perhaps embroider this month, or vice-versa.

I am very impressed with the pieces we've seen so far - such a nice variety and some great ideas to magpie from (as we say at school) in future...
