Newbie Round Robin Finished

Hey all, I just finished my first Round Robin. The ladies were all great and fun and here is what was done. I sent my block to Candi and after she embellished it she sent it on to another lady until I got it back full. In the meantime, I was doing some on each of theirs.

This is my block which I sent out empty. Candi did the heart and seam treatments around it. Jeanne did the paisly and seam treatments. Lindy did the half wagon wheels and all below it including the button arrangement and the lace and beads up top. And Susan finished it off for me with the beautiful SRE top left the iris in the lower middle and the lace on the lower right. Each person added so much stuff and it came out so beautiful! I am so happy with it. Thank you ladies so much.
This is Susan's block which she named, "There is a peacock in my garden" so I embroidered this peacock on her block.
This is Lindy's and she named her block, "There are butterflies in my garden" so I put these three butterflies and all the roses and ribbon to the left.

This is Jeanne's block and she liked birds so I put this adorable white bird and the purple flowers in her mouth. I also added the lace to the right of her (and two other spots of lace elsewhere on the block- you can kind of see some of it peaking out on the bottom) and I added tons of pearls all over the block.
This is Candi's block which she named, "There is an Angel in my garden." I did the three lavender thread painted flowers up in the right corner, the zig-zag seam treatment to the left of that, and I tacked on the little cherub to the left of that. I also added all the silk ribbon pansies around the cherub in the middle and some of the swirls under and around that (the dark ones.)Thank you so much for the help with taking the pictures for me. I couldn't have done any of this without you. (Melissa also helps me figure out what would look good on the blocks and has taught me so much.) Thank you so much!

Hi Wendy!

This must have been a fun RR. What group did you do it with? What are you going to do with your pretty block? These blocks are all so different and all so beautiful! Nice photos, thanks!
