Beautiful!
But it was the critter in the bottom left corner who waved to me.

I'd like you to meet Lizzie!
At least that is what a friend of the quilt maker told me -
the dragon's name is Lizzie.
Wonderful!
Words of Wisdom by Elizabeth Dillinger of Ajax, Ontario, Canada
I fell madly in love with this wise old dragon.
Dillinger based this quilt on the amazing needle work of Teresa Wentzler.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work. Once upon a time I thought I would make quilts. But sewing isn't my gift. I do appreciate them, though. But these are magnificent works of art. I can imagine you with that first dragon one (Medea) spread around your shoulders.
I am still amazed at the quality of these quilts...especially the first one. It looks like a painting and not out of fabric! Such talent!
Those are totally incredible!! So very creative! It must be wonderful to have that kind of talent!! Your photos are terrific! Thanks so much, Snap, for sharing these!
Enjoy!

very nice pieces indeed!
[I'm a mac too and refuse to grow up:-)]
Those are amazing! I can't begin to imagine how much work went into those!
These quilts are extraordinary Snap. The one from Ajax? That's about 20 minutes on the highway from me!! And Theresa Wentzler..her work was/is beautiful. She passed away a few years ago...I used to see her work in all of my counted cross stitch publications.
Those quilts are astounding!
These are amazing, and amazingly beautiful. No wonder you fell in love!
Gosh I can hardly believe those are quilts they are amazing!
Beautiful, creative and amazing craftmanship. I enlarged every one to better appreciate them. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what absolutely amazing works of art ! The drago is gorgeous but I am partial to Pandora myself - kind of queen-like here, isn't she ? ;)
Thanks for the eye candy, beautiful Snap !
The quilt are all absolutely amazing. I can imagine the time that must go into each one.
Wow---what fabulous quilts, Snap... I especially like that last one --since you can see all of the quilting in it.
I'm catching up on blogs this week. Don't know how long it will take me. My word for 2010 is going to be PATIENCE --since that is the hardest thing for me to have...
Love your post about "Old" Christmases ---Raggedy and Andy, the silver Christmas tree, the gumdrop tree, etc. Brought back memories!!!
Great pictures from the zoo of the giraffe. Beautiful creature, isn't he?
Hugs,

Lovely! I like dragons too. I have one little handmade lucky dragon sitting on my desk :D
