Love your pirate ship as well as your Song of Solomon sampler. Can't wait to see it finished. Enjoy your stitching time.

Wow, that cross stitch is going to be stunning! I just cannot see the charts anymore so I haven't done this in a long time.

Is the pirate ship part of a larger project? Or is it a one block project?
It's so awesome... I've never seen anything like it!

The ship block is wonderful! So well done.

Thank U ladies for your nice comments. I have been working on the cross stitch sampler since mid Feb about 1 hr a day. It is slow stitching but can see progress with the ship. It is a beautiful pattern by Robyn Melia given to a select group on FB.
The pirate ship is among 15 more blocks. Lots of detailed work and takes time. The ships are in the center surrounded by vining flowers and compasses in each corner.

It looks like you have a ship theme going on right now. I love the sequins as gun holes.

Your ship is fantastic -- I love the skull and crossbones at the bottom! I took a peek at your May hexi, too -- wow, very nice!!!

Thank you Cathie and Denise for your nice comments. Yes I do have ships in the works and one more will be a hook rug. Had everything ready before these 2 projects but just not off the ground!
Someday I will figure out how to comment after each comment.
