In a stunning move by the USPS, Cathy received my round robin package today (it was just put into the mail yesterday) and I received Sylvie’s round robin package today (it was just put into the mail in France on Monday). What an incredibly quick delivery of both package! I know that Cathy only lives about an hour away from me, but the USPS does not usually work that quickly between local areas. It often has to bounce from one major postal hub before it goes anywhere. Maybe I’m just lucky that I live somewhat near Philadelphia?
Sylvie did a beautiful job of her RR journal. It’s stitched front and back with paper fit in between, folded accordion style, and the whole thing tied with ribbon. A very impressive presentation, indeed! And it makes me feel like a slob. 😆 In fact, her packaging made me feel like a slob, as well, since she divided the floss into bags for each project. Oh well, it’s my first RR, so I have an excuse, right? 😀
I now have more obligations for my stitching time! The model that I’m working on should be finished and ready to go by Monday, at which point I need to stitch my short list of names for my Flight 93 quilt panel, then I’ll move on to Sylvie’s RR. Of course, in the meantime, there is no way that I’ll ever catch up on the Stitching Leporello, considering I haven’t even had time to baste my fabric yet! *sigh* No rest for the weary…
Can’t wait to see pics! :o)
That must be a postal record! I’d love to see Sylvie’s journal – it sounds really impressive 🙂
Like you, I haven’t even looked at my Stitching Leporello (mind you, the threads didn’t arrive until some time while I was in NZ) … we might end up having our own SAL catch-up later ;P I’ve missed reading your blog … so I’m off now to trawl through the archives to see what I’ve been missing while I’ve been AWOL 😀 {hugs}
Every now and then the USPS actually gives you service!! At least our regular mailcarrier is an absolute doll and always delivers packages to my door along with all my mail. She loves the kids and we have a nice chat now and then. 😀
wow, yay for the USPS. I can’t wait to see pics – I’m learning lots just by following the progress…I’ve never participated in a round robin before
Can’t believe it arrived so fast!!! That’s incredible! About my journal, it was my first attempt to do something different and as the RR won’t have to travel a lot (I mean we are only 4), I thought I could try this… And you know, it’s my 3rd RR so now I have much more ideas and tips. LOL
Don’t stress out over your stitching obligations – it’s all meant for fun & enjoyment! 🙂
And why doesn’t my mail seem to ever travel so fast?
WOOT! Excellent to hear the RR’s arrived at their destinations. I’ve not stitched a thing … been busy on the housework, errands, and other boring stuff. (like finishing).
Did manage to finish a couple books…which is always fun in the Summer time.
Enjoy your week-end : )
