Yay! I'm so glad it arrived Brinda, and, that you like it! I think it will turn out to be a gorgeous bag!

I've sent off your little RR book. I hope it arrives soon.

It sounds as though we've all had such fun participating in this RR, and it's been a very positive experience, for me.

I can't wait to see what you and Kim do on my block! Did you have a good holiday? We've had wonderful weather the last week. Now it's cooler with rain.

I will post some pictures of the work that I've done... we've been only a little chatty through e-mail, I'm afraid! I love how much this group is talking! It helps that there are more of you. We started with 5 participants and ended up losing 2, so there are only three of us! Still, I have had a wonderful time with it! and I am almost ready to send the block I'm working on home back home to its originator! I'm so excited! 

 

I will definitely email you!

Tahlia, I'm so pleased you like my flower. It was a fun experiment. If you'd like to send me your addy, I'd be happy to send you a few more pics. (susancussatyahoodotcom)

I would love to have some more eye candy with your group showing their pics. I'd love to see more and learn more!

Hi Tahlia. I sent you an email. ;-)

We only have three in our group, too: Kim, Brinda and I. I think three is a good number for the size of block we're doing. I'm not sure I could contain myself if there was less room for stitching.

I look forward to seeing your pics!

Well here it is. My work on Suz's block is finally done! I hope you like it Suz! I pondered quite a long time and then decided to create a magic garden! I think it was all the pinks in your block that made me think of magic! I have used crochet a lot! I spent some time on the net looking at flowers of different kinds and visualizing how I would crochet them.  I started by making the silver flowers and then the blue one with the yellow center. I made bright yellow buttercups, to add dimension to the whole picture. I finally embroidered on the white flowers with a simple lazydazy stitch and the clear bead as a center. You had said you would like garden visitors, so I hope you like the purple butterfly and the snails with a golden fleck! Its all Magic!!!

I have loved doing this and it will be posted very soon. I am posting both blocks to kim. I took you up on your suggestion and decided to send both together Kim.

I will be posting closeups of this on my blog http://embroideringmytale.blogspot.com/

Brinda, your work is so awesome!!  I'm so glad you posted it so I can plan ahead to finish it up.   Love those snails!  I don't crochet, but I love all this you have done for Susan.  It is just stunning.  I went in and looked at your blog and joined to get updates.  I have enjoyed keeping up with Susan's blog also.   This has been such fun!  Excellent job!!  Susan, do you want me to do the other 3 squares or to you want me to leave you one to do yourself?

[Susan Cuss]

Brinda! I love it! It's so cheery and bright, and fun! Perfect! I love the snails, too. I'm so glad you included some of your crocheting on my block. My Mom crocheted and I have some of her work, so I'm delighted to have a bit of yours, now, too. Thank you!! I'll be off to check out your blog.

Hugs from Suz

[Brinda Crishna]

Thanks Kim and Susan. I am delighted you like it Suz! I have loved doing it and was a little bit nervous since this is my first time! I got the little booklet in the mail as well. Thanks for that. We have become friends and hope we can keep the friendship strong and growing!

[Susan Cuss]

I'm glad it arrived, Brinda. Thanks for letting me know.

This is my first official RR, too, ( I've done a few whole blocks in swaps)  and it was fun stitching with other people! I've sure enjoyed this, and making new friends, too.

Hugs from Suz

[Susan Cuss]

Kim, I'll be happy letting you make the choice: if you'd like to do the remaining blocks, I'd be thrilled! But, if you decide once you begin working on it that you only wish to do two, that would be fine. I have other blocks in the same materials to work on, so I won't be feeling deprived if you complete it. Okay?

I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to my 'Magic Garden'!
