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.

<------------- Name says it all! I have a few, but my kids end up stealing them cause they like them too.

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

I don't collect, just like them. @feline - that's gonna be beautiful, please share pic when it's done.

Wow - love it, can't wait to see it finished!!

Beautiful work on the quilt! Thank you for sharing!

BeaUTIFUL HANDWORK ON THE QUILTING IS THAT SASHIKO? DH brought one on line it is evil looking I've hid it somewhere he he. DH thought this mans blog was funny till the man said he was an atheist!

beautifull hand quilting---i love dragons-- mcafferty does it so well---it all started with the welsh dragon then i found the chinese dragons--the luft dragon[never ending story] the lipstick wearing purple dragon in shreik-- i made my son born in the year of the dragon a stain glass quilt[check out jillian sawyer glass designer]he ended up with a dragon tattoo at least he waited as i requested till he was 21[[21+1 week]

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.

I love Ann McCaffrey's books, too. I don't know if I have read them all, though. I kind of lost track along the way somewhere... is she still writing them? I like dragons a lot- I have a paper piecing pattern somewhere that is pretty big that I plan to make someday.

I love dragon also. My high school was the Red Dragons. I play MahJongg because it has Red Dragons, not really I play it cause I like it. I am making a dragon , Red, table cover for my card table. It will be done soon, I have talked about dragons so much that my DGD, has started drawing them. When she comes to visit we will take one of her drawings and transfer it onto a Tshirt that she can show off to her friends. Go Red Dragons!!!

Ever notice how many countries - that would seem to be unconnected - have dragons in their art and their literature?

(Literature includes fairy tales and folk lore.)

I love them. :) Don't collect them because that would mean I would have to do more dusting. :)

But I do write some stories with them in it, and I love cross-stitching them too. And I've even got some dragon fabric.
