I've seen this design before and thought how simple and poignant it is!

Do you have to stitch all the blue background? I see that you’re using a dark blue fabric.

I had the same question. Hard to tell from the photo. Looks like the sky isn't stitched?

The upper part of the sky is to be left unstitched. There are also many other unstitched areas

Thank you. Youre right, the sky is left unstitched

A good start on this one. Will be stunning when completed I should think. Look forward to next update

Nice picture of a rather graceful ship, and should be good. The remaining connotations disturb me a bit.

My biggest thought about the Titanic disaster is that its main memory should have been the safety measures enshrined in regulations, and then the whole horrible incident consigned to history. The use of full height watertight bulkheads, the use of low temperature steels and then adequate life boat provision. After that, let the dead rest in peace, and allow the scars of the survivors to heal over. Instead of which, people pick at the scabs, in a horrible, macabre and prurient way keeping the wound fresh and not allowing survivors to become themselves, forcing them to remain as a label which says 'Titanic survivor'.
Sorry, not a comment on your picture, just my view of the Titanic 'Industry'.

Regards,

Richard.

This is a lovey design, and what a relief to see the ship before the disaster. You've made a lovely start.

Richard, I totally agree. In fact, an artist/engineer friend of mine would only supply pictures of the Titanic , taken on her trial voyages in the Irish Sea. He felt it was taking advantage of such a tragedy otherwise.

I respect your opinion, but I don't agree. I don't think the wounds would heal faster if media did't talk about what happened. Each time the grief washes over us it is an opportunity/invitation to accept that what happened actually happened and love ourselves through the grief and dissolve it rather than pushing it away/escape from it.

This will be fantastic - quite iconic and looks like it will be a joy to stitch.
