I think it is going to be great fun completing it and I will post a picture when it is finished.

These are the same dragons I'm using in quilts for two grandsons for Christmas. I stitched 18 dragons over several months. Some friends and I have joined the embroidery club there. Love her designs but they take some time to stitch out.Each of the dragons take about 2 hours of sewing time.

Love the applique ones too.

I am thinking of joining the club to get the embroidery patterns too. I am lucky enough to have a 15 needle machine so once the colours are set up it doesn't take quite as long, just have to persuade myself I need the embroideries but I am halfway there on that one so it probably won't be long before I give in. I can see all the little extras I could make with the matching embroideries.
Do they stitch out neatly?

Oh wow, I love it! I would love to do one like it for my grandsons.........but seems I have way more ideas than I have time! Can't wait to see the rest as you complete them. Did you do the finishing stitch with a regular machine or is that a special type of stitch/machine?
