If I do this challenge next year I will make the blocks each month, it was a mistake doing them all together but that is part of the learning curve I am on at the moment. I am unable to add lace, ribbon etc neatly, this should be added during the construction of the blocks, never mind we live and learn.
I am also taking part in a round robin with the group embroidery friends which has been set up following the closure of the Embroiderers Guild forum. This group is open to all not just members of the EG. There are 10 of us taking part and I have chosen gardens as the theme for my 10" x 8" piece. I have done a bird bath and can now send it on the the next person to add something, wonder what it will look like when it arrives back, maybe someone will do a bird having a bath! Bit concerned what is going to arrive through my letter box as we are all choosing our own theme, trust it is something I can do. Two of those taking part are in Australia but the rest of us are UK based. Here is the bird bath, only worked in stem stitch but think it is quite cute.
