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 Shephard 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
Little Snap Dragon by Kustom Krafts - a gift from Lesley:
stitched on 32 count Evening Sky Murano by Crafty Kitten
A finish for The Sweetheart Tree's Finger Fun 1 - a gift from Vickie:
stitched on 28 count Platinum linen
The chart for this cute design is going to be the prize for the GGG (Gifted Gorgeous Giveaway) this month. All you have to do is link-up and leave a comment making it clear you would like to win this chart. There is some over-one stitching and blackwork too. You will have to source the teeny tiny buttons or use beads instead.
Here is the place for you to link up so we can see what Gifted Gorgeousness you have been stitching so far this year. Please use your name or your blog name in the field NOT the words "June Update" so I can easily see who has linked up this month.
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 people have already signed up but there are still some spaces left if you'd like to be involved.
Hi Jo! Your stitching works are going on very well!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for all the info about GGG and all the rest.
If you still have free time or enthousiasm for a new project, I invite you and your friends to join my first SAL... it's a no-stress project where each stitcher will choose her own speed.
It starts today but you can join at any time... have a nice day!

ReplyDeletePhew! I finally made it into this SAL! :D Sure took me long enough :) Off to check out the other GG posts now :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress on all these gifted projects, Jo. And it's so great that you thought of putting down the name of the stitchers who gifted you with these beauties. I have never done that because I thought I would always remember who sent what. But after many exchanges I forgot about that, unfortunately.
