That's beautiful, Xandra.
I have heard some not very encouraging things about RRs, too.

Yes, I entered a Round Robin, Half the time no one seemed to know where the stitching was, and when I got it back, some of the stitching looked like their kids did it. Very dissapointing.
But, I love that tree. So whistful.

Gorgeous tree I think I have that pattern someplace.

Mine isn't really a Christmas design, more of a winter design. I am doing it instead of my Noah's Ark right now because it looks like it will stitch up quick and I am a little bit intimidated by my Noah's Ark at the moment. Scroll to the bottom to see the one I am doing

Oh don't let Rose see that.
Really cute.

Oh how sweet of you. I will love it when you have shipped it to me once it is done!!!!!!

Oh sure. It's so easy I should be able to whip up 15 in no time

I just finished my first ornament. I'm not too good at finishing, so it took me awhile to get it done

That is so beautiful Koko and you have done a great job with the edging too. It is most unusual along with the gorgeous fabric

You could've fooled me! I hope you only mean it takes you longer than you would like, because in terms of quality and beauty of finish, yours takes the cake!

Those boxes that make up the border, are they done in satin stitch? I'm asking because I'm never entirely sure what satin stitch looks like but they look lovely!

I agree - the finish is gorgeous! And I think the squares look like they could be Rhodes squares. Am I right?
