Hello friends! I hope you all are safe and well. We are settling into our new routines. I've been working from home for a while but the bank I work for has transitioned 95% of our workforce of a couple of hundred thousand to work from home. My husband is also working from home as he his a licensed clinical social worker for our local school system.
In the past couple of weeks, I've finished Elizabeth Atkinson 1829 from Hands Across the Seas Samplers. She is a fun stitch and isn't huge. There is quite a bit of over 1 and a little bit of Algerian Eyelet. I particularly love the border on her and that vase of flowers in the center bottom.
I stitched this on 46 count Golden Oats from Silkweaver. I really liked the linen. I used the called for 100.3 from Au ver a Soie. I LOVED this thread!
I almost immediately sent this out to Total Framing and have selected a frame via text message and hope to have her back home soon. I also sent along another piece to be framed too.

Beautiful, Jackie! So sorry I won’t to see you in Asheville.
Keep me posted on how Jake is doing.
This is just gorgeous Jackie! I hope you are staying put and staying safe.
Congrats on a gorgeous finish.
Yes, that Urn at the bottom with flowers is so pretty.

Jackie: It is beautiful, I am looking forward to seeing it framed.
I am happy you are able to work from home, it must be hard to have to do so, I am retired so am used to being home.
Stay Healthy

Well done on getting Elizabeth finished, Jackie! I can't wait to see her framed.
Oh my goodness that is fabulous. You must have a lot of patience...
great finish Jackie ! I think I have this kitted up - not on 46ct of course ! glad your experiment with the Dawn to remove the dye bleeding on your miniature quilt worked. Those Jo Morton quilts are wonderful and I know you love this one. Good luck with coping with sharing your workspace with DH. I'm glad I can still go to the office and keep some normalcy to my life. Be safe Mel
So beautiful! Congratulations on the finish! And the quilt and Dawn -- who knew? Wow!
Another lovely finish, Jackie! So glad you and your husband are both working from home, too. Happy Easter to you--it will certainly be a different holiday this year, but at least we are safe at home. Take good care now! ♥
This is gorgeous!! Did you find 46 ct much more challenging than 40 ct? I love 40 ct but am intimated to go higher. Glad to hear you are working from home. Stay safe.
