Round Robin
Many years ago, I was an avid reader of this group. I was involved with a
Round Robin that was formed within this group and it was a wonderful experience. I had to let go of this group when I went back to get my master's degree. I finished my degree in 2000, but then my husband has contratracted a very rare heart/lung disease. So, we've been in/out of hospitals for the past three years. He is now stabelized and so is my career. In the past couple of months, I have dived back into my cross stitching with a vengence, my husband bought me a new laptop for Christmas, and I've rediscovered this group. So in finding this group, I got to thinking about the Round Robin I was in. I guess what I would like to know, is if there is an individual that is involved with this group who organizes the Round Robins? Could someone please let me know who that is. If you want to reply to my email personally, please remove the "no junk" from my address. Thanks for any help you can give me. Rhea from KY, USA |

Hi Rhea,
Firstly let me wish you a very happy new year 2004, in the hope that things are going to settle down for you. I am new to this Newsgroup and pardon my ignorance but I wondered if you could let me know what is the Red Robin? I have tried to reply to your message directly but it was returned to me undelivered twice even though I took the nojunk off your address... :-( Sandrine "Rhea " wrote in message ...

Using tatting for an example (though it would work with most any craft), one person will start by creating a center medallion, then send that medallion (and hopefully instructions on how it was made) to the next person on the list. That person will add a round or two of tatting to the center and forward it to the next person, etc. until the project is complete. In the end, a surprisingly nice piece will be created and hopefully a complete instruction set so anyone can duplicate the entire thing. --Regards --Anne |

I wish I could help, but I know of no current Round Robins, except the ones on "Sewing World", but I don't think that's what the original writer had in mind. grin Dianne |

Sandrine,
Hum, a definition of a round robin is where a group get together and stitch on each other's piece. Kinda like an old fashioned quilting bee, but over the internet and thru the mail. Mine was a wonderful experience and I became friends with 5 other women while we stitched. We did an aida only group with 6 women. Turn around time to mail your piece to the next person was 30 days. So 6 people, 30 days turnaround......I received my finished piece back six months after we started. I don't know if I explained this well enough so if others can explain it better, please jump in. Sorry you couldn't respond personally to my email. Rhea from KY, USA |

Dianne Lewandowski had some very
interesting things to say about Round Robin: A round robin is a project that is circulated amongst a group of people who each contribute a part to that project. Using tatting for an example (though it would work with most any craft), one person will start by creating a center medallion, then send that medallion (and hopefully instructions on how it was made) to the next person on the list. That person will add a round or two of tatting to the center and forward it to the next person, etc. until the project is complete. In the end, a surprisingly nice piece will be created and hopefully a complete instruction set so anyone can duplicate the entire thing. Sadly, too many Round Robins end up being lost. But some groups manage. Group exchanges are also fun. I wish I could help, but I know of no current Round Robins, except the ones on "Sewing World", but I don't think that's what the original writer had in mind. grin Speaking of, any word on the AFARR? -- Seanette Blaylock "You attribute perfect rationality to the whole of humanity, which has to be one of the most misguided assumptions ever." - Alan Krueger in NANAE [make obvious correction to address to send e-mail] |
