Never Laugh at Live Dragons, Bilbo...
3 Attachment(s)
This little (54X39ish) quilt started out as a whim. I asked my son to draw me a largish dragon that I could then put into a quilt. The drawing (on butcher paper) was folded up and stashed behind my desk for ages. I ran across it while cleaning and, since I was 'between' quilts, I decided to do something with the dragon.
I'm not totally happy with it (hence the title which is a quote from 'The Hobbit"). Creativity stalled out on me several times and I had to give myself a good old fashioned talking to...."Get upstairs and get that Dragon finished" I said.... And then I would find something else I needed to do. sooooo long story short, I did finally finish it and I'm happy that it is done! |
Awesome drawing, colors & quilting. I can see why you are happy with it. Thanks for sharing.
|
That's amazing!
|
My son loves dragons and if I gave him something that wonderful he would come unglued. It really is fantastic.

Masterful!
|
That's really quite nice, dragons are very special. Reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers- "Never meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!" I think this would be a great idea for a quilt for my awesome grandson.
|
You and your son making an amazing artistic team. Beautiful is an understatement!
|
Bravo. It's truly magical in those colors. Your quilting is amazing, as is your son's talent.
|
That is truly one of the most incredible quilts I have ever seen! I envy your talent and creativity. Thanks for sharing!
|
Beautiful Dragon quilt. You did a great job. I once saw a tshirt with, Never laugh at live dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. But I like the Tolkien line better.
|
Well done!
|
very nicely done
|

Smaug never looked so good! The quilt is wonderful & I love your quilting!.
|
Amazing!! Very creative drawing by your son and beautiful work by yourself. Thx for sharing.
|
Amazing how you took his drawing and created this marvelous, enchanting quilt! You both are so talented!
|
Wonderful work!
|
That is just an awesome dragon. You did a good job.
|
The quilting just really enhances his beautiful quilt
|
Love it! The detail in your dragon is stunning, especially the way you quilted the wings!
I've been thinking about asking my son if he could draw a simple sleeping baby dragon for me to use in a quilt, he draws much better than I do. It's great when you can have a project where the two of you use different skills and come up with something amazing! |
beautiful work, i love all the texture too
|
great dragon
|
very nicely done
|
I am dumbfounded by that, I cannot see how it could possibly be better, it is spectacular!
