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:
Ghostly Mandala by Ink Circles - fabric is a gift from Rachel:
stitched on 32 count Autumnal Woodland from Crafty Kitten
You Were Hatched by Teresa Wentzler - a gift from Karen:
The fourth corner:
"Where Did I Come From?"
"You Were Hatched":
And the full piece:
stitched on 28 count lilac evenweave
Last month I hosted a GGG (Gifted Gorgeousness Giveaway of The Sweetheart Tree's Finger Fun I:
Congratulations to Kerry and if anyone is hosting a GGG themselves this month, let me know and I'll add a link here.
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 "July 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.
