Hi Suz, attached are 2 pictures of the Dragon I completed recently, for the wall hanging competition. It was a test stitch initially which I made into a wall hanging and gave to my husband who adores my creative work.
I’ve stitched out the file for commercial machines, I have a Janome MB4, but needed to reduce it and rotate slightly to fit my 200 x 240 mm hoop. As always it stitched out beautifully. I’ve used quilting cotton, Lonnie Rossi designs for Andover Fabrics from the Paint Box Range through out. The centre fabric is pink with gold embossed Gingko Biloba leaves in the background. There is a peeper in a colour to match the tan design around the dragon’s tail then a gold and tan fabric as a 2 inch border. I’ve used a black for the binding, the rope hanger and tassels.
I’m so pleased with the result as is my husband, he took the semi finished hanging to a group he belongs to and I ended up with orders for the design from other quilters. I will attempt the large design next so I can play with placement and split designs. Still not really confident with putting split designs together LOL.
