This dragon is on display in the children’s room at the Highland Park Public Library. I took the photo on one of our trips to visit Belle, the therapy dog. Belle is on vacation until February. Have a good holiday, Belle! See you next year.

Yes, me, too! Takes a certain patience, dexterity and love of fabric. I've just got the love of fabric.

Leora, a magnificent dragon so beautifully colorful! I wondered who Belle, the therapy dog was til I click the link. That's a marvelous thing for a library to do! I love the new Ruby Tuesday badge. Can I use it and suggest it for use by other participants next week? :)

Leora, I think the new badge is a little small on your post. Do you have a bigger version? Could you send it to me in e-mail? That is if I can use it... :)

leoraw says

Mary, I'll email you a larger one soon (maybe tomorrow?). Yes, I would love for you and others to use it. Then in a few weeks/months maybe I'll make yet another one.

I like this dragon, sot so scary as stylish (is that paisley on his scaly coat??). He appears to twirl on his canvas - a creative children's librarian is a gem, they were such a fun place for ours to learn!

Good eye on the paisley - love that.

Wonderful dragon, I like the red rickrack trim. What a great library you have!

Ralph probably noticed the paisley because we are into Vera Bradley patterns this year, ahem, thanks to our daughter who has become interested in those things. ;-) She may be getting something from Santa in that vein.

This dragon is colorful and creative. I wouldn't want to make such a quilt, but I can appreciate all the work that goes into it.

Very nice. Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Hi Leora, do you think that dragon in the library would scare the kids? I like your quilt a lot. It is very colorful as it should be.

Happy RT! I have three of my granddaughters and two dogs today for RT. Adi the beagle, is a therapy. We 'worked' today at an assisted living center with an Alzheimer's wing. The residents all love Adi.

That is so cool - such a wonderful thing, a therapy dog. Meeting with the dog has really helped my daughter relax about reading.
