Hambones Round Robin Project 2010

My monthly round robin group has once again launched a big project in common. After taking a couple of years 'off' doing other fun things, we are once again doing a true round robin--and this time, rather than divide into two or three smaller groups, we will all be doing something on everyone's project! That makes 11 hand-offs before the project will return to us. We have some new members since we did this the last time, & sadly have lost one as well (she passed away this winter). I think because we are all so aware of how precious we are to one another--because we have become such good friends over the years--we made the commitment to have a project that would have input from everyone, as a special treasure. There are some logistic issues with that idea--not the least of which might be size. As we continue building on, the piece can become pretty large unless we watch what we're doing/adding.

Anyway, I look forward to starting again, as it does challenge the old creative juices (for some it's too much pressure & they don't like to do it...). It's always so much fun to see what everyone comes up with--as our projects are very different from one another. I'll give some examples in a few months, so you get the idea. Meanwhile, here's the little solo center block (8") that will be mine after many hands have done their magic. Good luck, little fella!
