Hey folks! I'm going to try something new here on the blog called Thrifty Thursday, where I can share some of the neato things I pick up at thrift stores. I don't know about you, but I love a good thrift find! Especially stitchy goodies! So today I wanted to share a pretty fab cross stitch I found recently.
Check out this amazing piece! It's quite large as well. I know it took a long time to stitch this design. The frame is a bit dingy, but the stitching is perfect.
The poem says, "The captain hangs great bells to keep whales and monsters from his ship".
I love the details of the rope and what I'm assuming is the captain hard at work.
I don't know what it is about this piece but I just had to have it. It's so different, definitely not anything I would stitch for myself, but I love the details and sea creatures. It's just a wonderful piece. If you have any information about this design, please share. I'd love to find out more about it.
Have you scored anything at the thrifts lately? Do share!
