Fair and Square is going gangbusters, when all this started I never imagined that it would have the following that it does. We have, as of today 130 members. I think the beauty of Fair and Square is that there is: 1.) No finishing involved 2.) You can finish as YOU like it 3.) and you can join as many or as as little rounds as you want. I threw in "Holiday Rounds" recently because I (for one) love to decorate for holidays and seasons, I figured that others did too....so we started out with Earth Day that is celebrated on April 22...it worked well...the next Holiday Round is for US stitchers (or any member that wants to stitch) for the 4th of July. If anyone is interested in joining us....go on over to blog and take a gander at the rules and see if it is something for you. All are welcome, the only thing I ask is that people that I admit to the blog are: conscientious and will mail on time and that they pay attention to their partners likes and dislikes and stitch something that is compatible with them. Other than that....it's in your court.
On a side note, my job is going well....I think I can get myself "trained" by Friday, so I won't have to piddle around training longer. Fingers crossed....
Until next time, stitch with JOY!
I just love the PS square that you recieved, and your square is lovely, as well. Great stitching. I'll curiously watch to see how you finish your birdies.
ReplyDeleteLove the squares you received and it goes without saying that I love what you stitched! Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteBoth finishes are pretty. I'd love to join in an exchange, it's oh so tempting, but I know me and get hung up on deadlines, maybe when James is OLDER...like 18! LOL!

Lovely squares, Vonna!
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate in the 4th of July round! I have some great patterns, but of course no one around here celebrates that holiday.
Well, I knew you'd learn your job really fast, your super Vonna! Yea! I still don't see how you do it! I only work part time and I'm a whupped puppy everyday I get home from school. Whew! Have a great week girl!
