Magdalens lovely embroidery - more patches for the "We have Dragons" guild project :)

Magdalen has finished a beautiful patch for the "We have Dragons" guild project :) ...at the small picture on the right you get a small glimpse at the beginning of the embroidery but for the lovely final result please visit her blog: Vanhanaikaiset ...and here a direct link to her posting about this patch:

"Maaliskuun lohikäärme. The dragon of March"

Please don't worry, the posting is in Finnish and English - if you want to read the English text, just look out for the italic text sections :)

She used Split Stitch and also tried Bayeux-Stitch / Refilsaum for the very first time and I think she has done a really great job! Very beautiful embroidery and very nice color combination... a very lovely patch! :)

PS: if you would like to see a posting about your patches for the guild project or join the workshop and post about it yourself - please contact me at: ego_@_racaire.at (without the "_"!) :)

Guild Member Projects: Honor of Restormels lovely Bayeux style tapestry

I proudly present a really awesome and outstanding project of a member of the Dragon's Needle Embroidery Guild to you:

~ Honor of Restormels lovely Bayeux style tapestry ~

Honors thoughts about the project:

The reason for the project was to make a tapestry in the style of the Bayeux for our home and we decided to chronicle our reign. The finished product is about 22 feet long and hangs in our den. :) It is DMC cotton on Linen – mostly because I am allergic to wool. I know there are a lot of colors and things which are out of place in a Bayeux style… like the pink bunny, but there are reasons for each thing there and much is to honour special people. I also wanted something more colorful for my home than the original Bayeux tapestry has to offer. :)

I hope you enjoy the following photos of her project as much as I do :)

...an awesome project :)

I just posted some photos about Honors great Bayeux Style tapestry:
