Welcome to the Gifted Gorgeousness link-up post! The link-up date will continue to be the 15th of each month but I will keep the linky open until the end of each month so you have plenty of time to join in.
The format remains EXACTLY the same as last year so I'm sure you are all aware of what can be included - gifts to and from you; charts, fabric or threads; shoe-horns welcome!
Since my last GG post I have worked on a few gifted pieces:
Elizabeth Shepherd by The Scarlet Letter - a gift from Nicola:
stitched on 30 count linen
Counting Bats by Just Nan - a gift from Epic Mel:
stitched on 32 count lilac linen
Those scissors were a gift too, from Heather of It's Geek to Me. The scissor chain was made by a friend of mine too.
We had a Happy Dance on Nora Corbett's Little Snowy Gray Cottage - a gift from Nataly's Needle:
stitched on 32 count Blue Hydrangea Opalescent by Crafty Kitten.
And continued progress on The Sweetheart Tree's Finger Fun 1 - a gift from Vickie:
stitched on 28 count Platinum linen
And link to the actual post, not just your blog. It is easier if you copy and paste the link, rather than typing freehand.
Thank you. I can amend links if you make a boo-boo though.

Finally, The Days of Jo's Life Big Birthday Blog Hop was been launched and is taking sign-ups. The Hop will be on the 17th September. To take part all you have to do is leave a comment or email me. Nearer the date I will allocate you a Year of My Life and on the 17th September you do a blog post about that year or that life event in your life or what you were doing at that age (assuming you are that old!). Also, post something you have stitched which you think I will like.
Lots of lovely GG stitching you have been doing Jo. The sparkly cottage does look nice,

ReplyDeleteGreat stitching for this month's GG SAL. I won't join as I was too busy to stitch on my WIPs and too lazy to shoe-horn something, lol. Maybe next month.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your projects again :) I finally got around to linking mine up ^_^
