Gifted Gorgeousness February Link-up Post


Welcome to the February Gifted Gorgeousness link-up.  The link-up date continues to be the 15th and I will keep the link-up open until the end of each month so you have plenty of time if you are late posting.

The format remains exactly the same, there is a list of rules on the main sign-up page if you want to check what is required but basically anything connected to the word "gift" is allowed, whether it was a gift TO you or is a gift FROM you.


Deb sent me the charts for the Stoney Creek 2019 Ornaments which were my Stitchmas project this year.  I started all 12, one per day and will be completing one per month.  February was the Two Turtle Doves:

stitched on 32 count Lime Green evenweave

This little design was the Cover gift from Cross Stitcher magazine, a calendar from Tiny Modernist:

stitched on 32 count Summer Sky Belfast linen from Silkweavers

The Stitchonomy Winter SAL was a fully finished item, the kit was a gift:

stitched on 14 count Riveria Aida

The WIPGO Board chose Joan Elliott's Faces SAL, the fabric for this was a gift from Dawn of Crafty Kitten.  I planned to stitch as much as I could for the WIPGO Weekend and actually finished the little dragon, all except his beads!


Here is the whole piece so far:

stitched on 28 count Jazlyn in Snapdragon by Crafty Kitten

The beads will be added when the Small Boy is back in school next week!


Now it is your turn to show us your Gifted Gorgeousness for the month.  Please use your name or your blog name in the field and NOT the words "February 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.

Finally, thanks to everyone who took part in the Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop.  I do hope that you found your sweetheart and also that you discovered where your stitching went!  The next Blog Hop will be the Easter Treasure Hunt and I will start taking sign-ups at the end of this month.

    That little dragon is precious, and the project it is part of is just stunning already. I always like your 12 Days designs but this one is absolutely gorgeous.

    Love the turtle doves and dragon from this month's GG. Looks like the WIPGO board is working as intended and successfully encouraging progress on at least one older WIP. :)

    Those 12 days sure look awesome on that fabric!! Mine seem boring in comparison! The Calendar is so cute, she sure has some adorable designs! I have collected all the pieces to the Stitchonomy SAL, one of these days I'm going to stitch it, I love all the little designs! Oh...that Joan Elliott's Faces SAL is absolutely gorgeous! The dragon is delightful! How did I miss this SAL? The fabric is perfect for it too! Always a fun visit to your blog! Happy Stitching!!

    I love the dragon. The metallic thread (I assume it is) really brings him to life. This design reminds me of Passione Ricamo. She has some pretty fairy designs, both free and paid for.

    The Doves look perfect on the green, and a nice start with the calendar. That's another one I have yet to start.
    Oh, that sweet dragon, love it!
