N

ormally, you’d be

more likely to find

a majestic dragon

like this guarding

a gleaming pile of treasure,

but this fairy-tale creature has

flown in to add a touch of magic

to your home. From its roaring

flames down to the spikes on

its tail, this fantastical beast is

cleverly stitched using swirls of

backstitch, created in the style

of quilling – the curling of paper

strips to decorate a surface. The

dragon’s finished size makes

it perfect for displaying as

a hoop or hanging in a favourite

cosy reading corner or in a mini

adventurer’s bedroom. ●
