Welsh Red Dragon . . .

This is a true color of the fabric.

Photo of Welsh Dragon chart in booklet from Enchanting Lair.

Here is a photo of the red Welsh dragon on the fabric.

It is an Enchanting Lair pattern Welsh Dragon 113

and the fabric is from Enchanting Lair, also.

I don't think it will be a UFO very long cause I want to get it done.

I am using Sampler threads for the dragon,

School House Red.

Buckeye Scarlet,

with (1) strand Petite Treasure Braid

by Rainbow Gallery (PB07)

for the high lights in the body and wings.

Highlights by RG (H613) for the wings.

The flames are Simply Shaker Butternut Squash

and the eye is Oatmeal.

Here is the photo with the wings started and his sparkles added.

It is sorta hard to see them. Oops this one is out of order,

but you get the idea. Someday I will get this backwards

stuff figured out but don't hold your breath.

When Tris stayed with the lady in D. C. I found

out when I visited that she was Welsh.

I wanted to stitch her a "Thank You"

for letting Tris live with her for the 11 months

while he went to school.

I got on the internet and started looking for a pattern.

I put in Welsh Dragon

and the exact ornament she had hanging

on Tris' doorknob

was just like this pattern.

This is what it looked like yesterday.

I have stitched on it for about 6 hours today

and it has all his legs, all the spaces are filled in

with sparkly stitches.

I also have half of his wings done,

the eye done

and the flames coming out of his mouth ~ done.

Oh, I forgot his tail!

I am going to stitch in

"Welsh Dragon"

from my favorite alphabet book,

at the bottom

and then I will post a picture.

My friend Dee Dee

has taken all the pictures of him

and she has done a great job.

Thanks Dee Dee!

Thank you for stopping by

as usual,
