Welcome to the September 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. September is for Ladies Dancing:

The WIPGO Board chose Fairy Idyll for August. The chart (and extras) was a gift from a friend. By the end of the month I had reached this point:

Gathering Eggs by Nora Corbett, the chart was a gift from a friend. This was a triumphant finish at the start of this month:
stitched on 35 count Vintage Country Mocha Linen
This next project is stitched from charts which were Birthday gifts and on fabric which was a giveaway gift. It is my spooky conversion of the CCN Main Street designs. I completed my third shop this weekend. The Cafe became Cauldrons:

The Bothy Threads 12 Days of Christmas kit was a Christmas present:

Finally, I received a lovely gift myself from Kerry in Stitches. I won a giveaway on her Flosstube channel and she sent me a box of loveliness which I have not had time to photograph yet so I will add the pictures in when I do!
I remember just seeing the basket of eggs in it's early stages, this finish is just darling!! I love it!! The Bothy Threads 12 days is so gorgeous and Day 1 is stunning! This is quite a stitch heavy project and I will enjoy seeing your progress on it.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful stitching! They are all so pretty, but my favorite is Gathering Eggs. What a lovely finish! I love how you are changing the CCN to a spooky series, what fun! You are very creative! Can't wait to see more of the fairy. I added to my 12 Days collection this month...LOL So I'll have a few more new series to stitch next year! Bothy threads is looking soooo good! Thanks for hosting GG!
