Overview

Eight Bells Cross Stitch Pattern - Winslow Homer - Regular Size Edition Experience the power of the sea with Eight Bells by Winslow Homer. This full-coverage cross-stitch pattern recreates Homer's dramatic 1886 painting of two sailors charting their course in rough seas. Using a sextant and chronometer, they record the vessel's location at the close of a four-hour watch-marked by the toll of eight bells. Homer's painting, informed by the writings of oceanographer Matthew Maury, elevates this scene of daily shipboard work into a profound meditation on humanity's attempt to measure and understand the forces of nature. The Regular Size Edition is designed to finish at approximately 18"" wide on 18-count fabric, making it a richly detailed yet manageable project. Looking for a larger version? A Large Size Edition (approx. 24"" tall on 18-count fabric) is also available. You can find it on our Author Page.
