Please dont change anything, honestly I really do like it. I think it is wonderful. The black fabric you used in the center of the end blocks looks like what I bought as a possible part of the border....but then decided to wait to see it when it got home. I was afraid the pattern was too big to be used in the border. So you see it is fine.
Is the bluework embroidery stitches?

I'll send it out to you tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest if you really like it. If not, please tell me and I'll try again.

My bluework is just a simple back stitch. I drew the patterns myself, so they aren't perfect. Thanks for your kind words. It was fun to do and it was a great thing for me to work on while Dad was in the hospital and rehab. I needed some hand work to keep me busy. Lots and lots of waiting around, if you know what I mean.

I am so happy with it. You creating the design makes it so much more special. I like the teabag on the cup blocks, nice touch. Thank you for spending your time and creativity making the row so special.
And yes I know what you mean about the hand work and the waiting around. My family laughs at me, because I have a small tote (lunchbag) that always has hand work in it...if I am going somewhere and don't know how long I have to wait I grab it on my way out the door. My grandkids always asked why I packed a snack and if there was enough for them.

LOL!! I don't have grandchildren, but if I did, I'd probably get asked the same thing!

Dayle, I think I will send the machine up with a friend who goes to TF regularly to see her DD and DGS. Larry knows it still isn't working right. Another friend and I are talking about coming up to the quilt show in April.

i have to say, i really really LOVE 'ALL' of the rows together on pattis Row Robin!!!
joan, your row fits beautifully as far as i'm concerned!!
it balances the whole piece and looks to me like it complements all of our coloured rows too. it has boopers greens, & my pinks, balances great with dayles...
i think your embroidery is wonderful and makes it sew much more special!!!
i always think you need a variation of all kinds of patchwork/embroidery/applique in projects like a row/round robin, as to me it's a sort of 'showcase' of this hobby, esp as it's going to be a 'keepsake' too.
i just love it!!!!
WELL DONE EVERYONE!!! another great row robin completed!!!
i'm sew pleased i decided to take part in this :)
(happy happy person sitting here :))
i've decided i need to stay away during the night, as too much happenes while i'm sleeping!! lol...
ladies, please don't forget to post these pics on the new row robin pictures thread!!! we want all the other ladies to drool over our rows too!! lol...
