A Medieval Ship Panel - Design by Sandra Whitehead


I have embroidered this ship on a 32 count evenweave fabric with DMC threads. It took little over two weeks to embroider, working for about 3 hours a day. There are a total of 8514 stitches. It would look stunning in any Tudor setting or a gent's study. Sandra writes that this panel depicts a 15th Century design adapted from an earthenware bowl.
