Dragon Ho!

I had a finish yesterday.

You may remember a pile of my hand dyed fabrics at the bottom of this post here back May(!!)  and a quick glimpse of some stitching on this post here  in October.  Well this is what I was aiming at.


The three panels are connected and measure 48 x 34 inches.

Of course Roger Dean's 'Morning Dragon' had a small influence, the joy in that painting from the book Magnetic Storm has been with me for 30 or so years.  Chris recently found my original copy of the book and it sparked a quilt.  

I suppose the sleeping dragon in his cave at the bottom is perhaps more Smaug, but don't all dragons have piles of treasure to sleep on?   



We have it hanging now but there are still a couple of tweaks I could do to it.  For now it's finally off my wall and I can perhaps think of other things!!
