What a beautiful design wonderful stitching and a really neat back. Where did you get the design? I really love dragons and would love to get that design.

Where did you get the design? I really love dragons and would love to get that design.

The design is by Patricia Allison. It is not out for sale yet--this is the model for the cover of the pattern. Once I finish the model and send it back to her, it takes a couple of months for her to do the outlining & beading and publish it. I can always give you a heads up when it is out since she sends me a copy of the pattern with my name on it.

Serinde, it's a very simple scroll frame that I bought at Joann's. It originally came with split rods, but DH cut several sizes of dowels for it that I have glued velcro to to attach the fabric. When I bought the frame, I also bought the lap stand attachments for it. They are simply an upside down T that slips onto the scroll. It could be better, but DH made some improvements when he made new stretcher bars & lap stand legs. I'll try to take a picture later. I was going to look through the pictures on my laptop, but unfortunately they're not on this computer since it's new (lother laptop crashed Friday).

This is simply beautiful! I love it! The sparkly border sets him off beautifully, too. Gimme a heads-up as well, please, Busy_B? I'm a dragon-lover!

[Fljotsdale]

the back is so tidy.

I keep forgetting that the back is visible on the scroll when i take pictures. At least this is a good part of the back. The border area gets a little crowded with all of the color changes.

The back of my 'fljotsdale' dragon is dreadful - there is such a LOT of confetti and small groups of 2 or 3 stitches that the back is just a tangled mess. Your's is so neat!

wow how did you become a model stitcher??

[koko]

Wow, this looks amazing!!!!!!!!

wow how did you become a model stitcher??

I just happened to see a request on the forum for a model stitcher and contacted her about it. She wasn't sure if she really wanted a model stitcher since she has always done all of her own work. It's nice since it is at my own speed--she isn't concerned with deadlines like other model stitchers work on.

[valb58]

That would be wonderful, thank you.

[Carole]

Beautiful!

[dollystitcher]

Oh wow this one will certainly be on my wish list when it goes on sale. You are making a fantastic job of it , it's really beautiful

[Busy_B]

Thanks everyone! I'm glad that every one likes it! When I finish the project and send it off, I will let you know. Patricia usually lets me know when she's done with it and sends a copy of the pattern, so once I know it's available for sale, I'll let everyone know.

This model and the one before aren't things that I would normally stitch, so it's nice to do something different. Of course, DS keeps asking when I'm going to start on his dragon kit (Dimension Gold). I'll start it eventually......
