I used one strand of Kreinik Gold Japan Thread #1 stitched with the two strands of floss for the flames.

I was anxious to start working on this from the first time I saw it, but I didn’t start working on it for several years. It’s the largest one I had done so far. It’s also the first one that used blending filament, which I find can be a pain to work with. The effect it gives is very pretty though. I worked on this for about a month after first starting it and then took a break until August. I then put it away at the end of August when I started working on the border because I found it very frustrating for some reason. If I was doing this piece again, I would not do it on the Aida that came with the kit. There’s a large number of fractional stitches that would be so much easier to do on evenweave. I started working on it again in August the following year, working on the lower half of the dragon.

This is the first Teresa Wentlzer design I bought. I had been wanting one for awhile, but never saw a kit in a store until one day at Micheals. It also happened that I had a 50% off coupon so I got the kit for only $11.
