Hello everyone, Today is check in day for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus, I decided to stitch a small notebook cover for a young music loving student.
The design is part of a drawing from my grandad's sketch book of around 1920 and he called it `A Little Waltz´.
Halfway though the sewing up, I realised that the fabric I had chosen for the backing wasn´t exactly the best choice for a young person, as it looks dull and sad, so I will probably end up making another cover in prettier colours.
I used tiny black beads for the dancers´ heads.
To find out more about the Smalls SAL, click on the image on my sidebar. Until next week.

How creative! Wonderful idea and beautiful finishing!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fabulous! The idea, the drawing, the execution... every last bit of it! I think the colors are perfect for anyone, but it's such a great design, it would be worth stitching and finishing multiple times!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure, Sheryl! As soon as I saw the thumbprint in my blog reader, I saw the leger lines right away, but couldn't tell the rest. But how very wonderful it is! The clever little stick dancers and violinists, the beautiful colours you chose and most especially the unique origin of the design.
ReplyDelete{OK I really like the colours, maybe because I am an OLDER person *TeeHee*}
