I went to bed quite liking the ferris wheel idea but was thought it would end up a bit like week 1 herringbone. I then started to think Chevron,heraldry, middle ages, a bit more drawing and I am thinking a grille in a church and from there somehow lept to a church chest, garnets, treasure chest.So here we are.
I think I got a bit carried away but everything is chevron stitch except for the straight stitch on the righthand side of the chest and the three little stitches holding the lock in place.
I like this stitch a lot and will definitely play with it some more sometime.
Thank you to everyone who liked the picture my cats, bless them they are getting old, like me, my x-ray showed old age, I didn't know it showed on the inside as well!!!

Fantastic work, what a great idea. And the padlock really finishes it off - funny how the little things can have such impact eh. :-)
Pat,
The treasure chest is great, not only very pretty, but very creative too.
I love how you used the stitch to express not only the traditional pattern on the outside of the box but the amazing mixture inside it. It's a true treasure chest!
This is so awesome in the closeup! Can only imagine how much fun it was to work!
Wow! This is AWESOME! I think the lock really pulls the whole thing together. It looks very nice.
I like it Pat and you sure have put a lot of work into it.
Lovely, you have great imagination ! I'm sure the cats are inspiring you (just joking).
I admire the way you go from sketch to the real thing.
Vero
Pat, that chest is stupendous. I'm afraid I never sketch my ideas before hand, but after seeing your work I think maybe it's time I did. Great.
very clever use of chevron!
very creative use of chevron stitch and the gold thread adds to the design of the chest
