Stained Glass Ship Freebie

A very long time ago, I found this as a freebie, though it has since been discontinued. As I don't have access to Flower Threads, I did my best matching what colours I had to the ones listed. I'm pleased with how it came out, anyway.

Paris freebie

I had planned on posting this on Bastille Day, to commemorate France's special day, but then the Bastille Day Massacre happened, so I decided to hold off a few days before I posted this lovely design, with its iconic Eiffel Tower. I feel for the people of France, and I hope they never again have to endure what they've been through :-(

My apologies, I've been having computer issues this past couple of months. I stitched a freebie in time for Easter, but couldn't post it! I have also stitched another Halloween freebie, so I am posting them today, now that my 'pute seems to want to work (at least a little).

This one is very old indeed. It comes from a DMC booklet published back around the late 1800s in France.
