Virtual RR #1 at Solarium Sublime Wednesday, Oct 3 2007

Many stitchers have been hesitant to participate in RRs due to concerns about many issues- ranging from the piece disappearing (mail service, participants quitting, etc) to objections over quality of stitching or the themes/designs chosen.

The solution - a Virtual Round Robin.

• You pick the theme.  (Your theme could be, for example TW corner motifs/ borders/ etc., Châtelaine borders/tiles/etc. or something along such lines)
• You introduce your theme and list of acceptable designs (most likely ones you already have, or seek an excuse to purchase   )  It is best if they come from the same designer, or have a similar style, though blending 2 or 3 is possible.
• Every two months or so, the next person in the RR will choose the next part for you.  The moderators will be assigning the RR participant rotation order when the sign-up period closes.

If this sounds like fun, sign up in the current Virtual RR, and then post a new topic on that board introducing your theme, stitching parameters, motifs and so on.

Solarium Sublime, a gathering of artisans, mainly needleworkers focused on cross stitch, that are interested in pursuing the craft of needlework and pushing personal limits to become artisans of the craft, creating pieces of art with needle and thread.

This forum is geared towards those who approach needlework as a personal form of art, and as such are interested in refining and furthering their skills and growing as artists.

Folks who enjoy stitching simple, small, easy, or anything in the “primitive” / “prairie sampler” genre, are not banned Just leave the discussion of those types of stitching to other forums/blogs.

Art is a highly personal and individual appreciation, so if this isn’t something you’d like, no worries. If you know of anyone who might be interested, feel free to copy this notice and post/email it.
