Friday Night Sew-in: Cotillion

My first Friday Night Sew-in project was to pickup a stalled project and see if comraderie inspired me.


And so to the story.


The roses are from my garden appropriate for a dance.


The stitching is a row of Dancing Dollies.


Roses for the Cotillion

A completed row of dollies.


First of 4





Start of the second row of dollies and pieces.


I am hoping that by using this as my Sew-in project to get back into the quilt it is intended for.








My team was playing Friday Night Rugby League so maybe not quite as much accomplished as I hoped.


Half way





The brier patch rose garden at sunrise Saturday with a Fairy Floss pink cotton candy sky
.Well it is Friday night in Paris and the house is still settled from Friday in Sydney still in bed.


I did another set of arms. I hope to finish during the rest of the weekends' football.


Thanks to Friday Night Sew-in I am back to stitching my cotillion girls.



Happy Stitching to All


Terry

Dancing Dollies are great. I love them and will make them for borders of some quilts. Just got back from BIL's wedding. It was fun seeing old families here in NZ again. I had been a long time - Glad you enjoy the sew-in - Hugs Nat

Your dancing dollies are lovely. Glad you found inspiration for an old project with the sew-in (and watched the footy, too).

That little box/tin you're using for your tiny bits is the sweetest thing - very nice indeed.

Love your sunrise, too. Such a nice time of the day.

Regards, Sue
