    Just looked at this cute dragon that was made - absolutely love it. Also noticed that there are a few of us that LOVE dragons. So how many are there of us total? How long have you been collecting and what?

    I'll start - I've been collecting since the 80's, have approx 250 figurines and other additional items in fabric, jewelry, knives and other dragon essentials, plus 1 other like stewyscrewy ( shoooush don't tell, my Mum might be listening). My Favorites are the cute one's - the babies, but do have a few older ladies and gentlemen. I don't know where I got this liking, maybe because I'm Welsh, I don't know. My DM doesn't understand at all.

    I like dragons. I love to read about them, rather than collecting the figures (too much dusting for my taste! :lol: ). I have every one of Ann McCaffrey's Dragon series.

    I like dragons too but I am not an avid collector or anything like that. You may enjoy this picture of my current handquilting WIP

    Love dragons, have done many cross stitch patterns. Back when I was new to quilting, I found a pattern for a dragon, it was georgous, but sooo far out of my league it wasn't funny! Wishing I would have bought the pattern, may have taken over a decade, but I think I could do it now.
