Gifted Gorgeousness September Link-Up Post


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:

Beaded Trumpet by Mill Hill - a gift from Kim:


Gathering Honey by Jannlynn - a gift to and from my friend Sam:


Counting Bats by Just Nan - a gift from Epic Mel and a Happy Dance this month:

stitched on 32 count lavender linen

Ghostly Mandala by Ink Circles - fabric was a gift from Rachel:

this is literally how to close to finishing I am!


Sugar Skulls by Brooke's Books - a gift for my niece and her fiance:

Yes, my B5200 arrived!
Black Kreinik is still AWOL

Last month I hosted a GGG for one person to win some Tibetan Silver charms, chosen from these packets:


The winner is


Congratulations to Jocondine, I shall be mailing a selection of the charms to you, some time before the end of the month!

You may remember back in the Summer I hosted my first Tenuous Shoe Horn Blog Party on the theme Summer?  Well, I used the Random Number Generator to chose one of the participants to win a little Summer-themed something.

The winner is


Congratulations to Katie, I shall be mailing something to you too, some time before the end of the month!

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 "September 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.

I'm having a blog reading night tonight and I realised that it's a skull and not a cake LOL so disregard my comment on your last post. I should have known it's a skull. I mean it is you. Go go Jo to complete the ghostly mandala! xo Alicia

You had a ton of awesome gift stitching this month! Although I think it's been a while since we saw any new progress on gathering honey, hasn't it?

Just added my post to the link-thingy as well, being in time for once and so on :)

Lady Stitch-a-Lot said...

Lovely progress! The bee hive sampler is great as always, so pretty =) Congrats on finishing Counting bats, I will miss the updates on this one, but at least it is done in time for Halloween ;-) The little trumpet is lovely, I love the Mill Hill kits, they are nice and small and fun to stitch =)

Katie said...

So behind again. Love all your beautiful stitching. Congrats to Jocondine! And Wow my name is mentioned too as a winner for the Summer Shoehorn. Thank you so very much for hosting these fun giveaways and the awesome GG SAL.

Elfie said...

Beautiful stitching. Your stitching report is so much happier than mine!

Tiffstitch said...

Beautiful work on everything and congrats to both winners! Also, I hope you get GM finished in the next day or so, I would have trouble going to bed knowing I was so close. :)

Barb said...

Counting bats will be wonderful to have finished this Halloween. The Ghost Mandala will also likely be finished. Great stitching!

Bea said...

Congratulations to Katie and Jocondine! Good looking stitching Jo and hooray for the finishes - and the almost!

Heather said...

Awesome progress congrats to Katie and jacodine! I'm actually in time for this one but I fear it's coincidence lol.

jocondine said...

Waouh! First time I win on blog! Thank you! Congrats to Katie! Counting bats is really nice, sorry they just count to 7, I'd love to see them again next months. I'll join GG later cause adding pics is just awful and sometimes impossible with wifi here. xxx
