A stitching finish -- what??!!!

Just a quick post to show off my stitching finish.  Yes, it took a pandemic to get me back to stitching!


This is Frances Grassby 1845 by Hands Across the Sea Samplers.  She is worked on 36ct WDW Parchment using the called for AVAS threads.  And I love her.

I hope you are all staying safe and well.

Gorgeous! Colorful! And as we all remember, perfectly stitched. So you're saying this was done in what ..... a month? A very nice surprise for your fans!

Lovely!
I love all the critters! They are always my favorite!
Hope you are staying safe on your side of the Hudson. It's pretty darn scary on this side.
Seems like we spend most of our time searching for those delivery slots at instacart and Wegman's!

Stay safe my friend!

I can't tell you how excited I am to see you stitching again, Margaret! What a gorgeous, gorgeous sampler. Did you go back to stitching because it helped more with stress-relief? Just curious! Will this be the first of many? I hope so! Take care now and I hope all is well with your family ♥
