Long Fong (Chinese Dragon & Phoenix) by Ming Hsu

Long Fong (Chinese Dragon & Phoenix)

Ming Hsu

Since I became a quilter in Australia in 2006, I wanted to make a quilt reflecting my Taiwanese-Chinese culture. I was inspired by Chinese symbolism for wealth, good luck and prosperity, the Imperial Dragon (Long) and the Phoenix (Fong).
