Dragon #2 (actually number one, but two in blog posting order)


So... finding dragon-print fabric has proved to be harder than expected, so I'm "giving up and giving in" and going to the art store this afternoon to pick up some linoleum blocks and fabric-safe printing ink to get a bunch of these squares done quicker than cross-stitch will allow (I also did some math this morning, and discovered that I was going to need 24 blocks, so... at least half of them will end up printed rather than stitched). My Sunday mornings stitching at Sol won't get this project done until the (currently not-yet-born) baby is a toddler if I stitch them all, so it'll be a mix of printing and stitching. WILL STILL BE NEAT.

The Burninator


Part of a larger project- blocks with cross-stitched dragons will be put together into a baby-sized quilt. This is the second one I've finished (no picture yet for the first), and they are both missing eyes because I don't know how to do French knots yet. But I can go back and put them in later!
