“Treasure Island” spins a heady tale of piracy, a mysterious treasure map, and a host of sinister characters charged with diabolical intentions. Seen through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, the cabin boy of the “Hispaniola,” the action-packed adventure tells of a perilous sea journey across the Spanish Main, a mutiny led by the infamous Long John Silver, and a lethal scramble for buried treasure on an exotic isle. Rich in atmosphere and character, “Treasure Island” continues to mesmerize readers and it has had an enormous influence on popular perceptions of pirates, including one-legged seamen, tropical islands, treasure maps marked with an X, and pirates with parrots on their shoulders.
A popular film adaptation of “Treasure Island” was produced by Walt Disney in 1950:

"The Master of Ballantrae" focuses upon the conflict between two brothers whose family is torn apart by a Scottish uprising in 1745. The uprising had the aim of returning James VII of Scotland and the House of Stuart to the throne of Great Britain. One brother joins the uprising while the other joins the loyalists. The older brother, James Durie (Master of Ballantrae), joins the uprising and becomes the rebel, while his younger brother, Henry Durie, remains in support of King George II. The uprising fails and the Master is reported dead, but Henry soon learns that his brother is alive and sailing with pirates.
The novel was made into a 1953 film with Errol Flynn as the Master.

Here is my Summertime Pincushion Challenge make. I have named it 'Treasure Island' because, to me, it seems to be the perfect summer island retreat to allow people to escape and unwind from a busy lifestyle back at home.

I had this up at work, but took it down to do the ol' rotation. Gotta keep it fresh. I think it's interesting how they made the sun black with yellow lines, quite the opposite feel you're trying to get across for a Florida brochure. Somehow it works.
