I'd like you to meet Ron-du-Lore...Laurie for short...she is the Adirondack dragon and she was conjured up in a dream by the wizard Dra...she is a lover of quilts, rainbows and small people. The story of her hatching can be read in the last book of a series I wrote for children back in 1992.  These Laurie's are made of muslin and hand painted by me...I have also sold them 'plain' for you to paint yourself...For some years Laurie has been in storage BUT with the passing of my father and the aging of my grandchildren I have decided to bring her back to life...Please let me know what you think...I recently met-up again with the lady who did a lot of sewing for me at the time and she is willing to make them again for me to paint....I still have a few of the original books but will need to find a new way to print them.....I used the top dragon as a display piece and she is 14"h and 21"l......the smaller dragons were the type we sold and they are 7"h and 10"l ....they originally sold for $21.00

Here she is in the medium size..14"long and 9"high...I had forgotten we made this size....NOW it's time to get her color on......that's done.... so off to the craft store to get some new paints and brushes to add her glitter ...she tells me she knows things have changed while she slept in the shadow of Giant mountain somewhere near St. Hubert's and she always liked to be 'in fashion'....such a funny girl......hope to see you soon on ETSY.....Tam and Laurie....





I'm sharing in hopes of getting some feed back so please don't copy my dragon or keep her as your own.....the wizard Dra will be very unhappy and you might find yourself in an enchanted kingdom...

Just picked this up from KC Custom Framing and Quilting....don't you love the design.....these flower spool blocks are from a Cyberbees swap back in 2000.....Oh my do you know I just said back in 2000 and that makes these blocks 12 years old already...To add to this story my (step) grandson is getting married tomorrow night at 5:00....they had the license and were going to elope BUT then they told his mother...my D-I-L...YOU know what happened next...At some point I will make them a quilt of their choice but for now they get this pretty floral walk in the garden....


I lost my 88 year old Dad on the 15th of March and the wedding is a nice diversion...it is good to see life going on.....Tam
