| Another |  | Another finish! |
Legends of the Dragons was my 2010 New Year start. It's now midway through 2012 and I've finally finished it! It's a three-parter with each dragon designed by a different designer. All three are now out of the business (although I believe Jennifer of DD still occasionally puts stuff out for retreats).
Magic by Dragon Dreams was the first one finished. I remember being very gung-ho at that point. I was going to stitch a dragon a month and finish the whole thing in 4 months. Ah, those were the days...
I finished the border next. I was going to use an overdyed since I didn't want to tackle the border (it's all TW), but I never managed to find one I liked that was in my budget. So I eventually sucked it up and stitched it as charted. I'm glad I did that.
And then it was Teresa's Wisdom. This is where I got stalled. I can't remember why, but I probably wasn't in the right mindset for a TW. That was a long hiatus. I didn't touch it during all of 2011. And then one day I just
had to finish it.
And the last one is Majesty by Black Swan Designs. Looking at my numbers this took the shortest time to stitch, which is surprising because I thought it would have been Magic.
I was a bit nervous about the lettering because it's over one. The last time I had to stitch a small over one part in a larger design it didn't turn out too well. Too much puckering. But this turned out excellently. I owe everything to my Q-snap. And the fact that I stitched all the lettering over two days.

Congratulations on a beautiful finish!!
Oh, Blu, it's gorgeous. I want!!! Would you be willing to sell me that chart? I know it's OOP, and I don't know where else I'd get it besides eBay, which makes me nervous... Huge grats to you on the finish. The hiatus makes it even more special.
This is lovely , i love all 3 Dragons, but have to admit that Magic is my Favorite one.
I love to see it when you've got it framed.
Hugs Yvon.
Absolutely gorgeous! Especially the border :) Although it's sad to think that all three designers are no longer working; I really loved DD's work, and TW's, although I've never been brave enough to tackle a Wentzler! Maybe one day ;)
Wow, this dragon trio is magnificent! Great work!
Hugs,
Tatyana

Congrats for this gorgeous finish! I really like this design and I'm so sorry all the three designers are out of business today.
Gorgeous finish!
