Gifted Gorgeousness June Link-up Post

    

Welcome to the June 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.

My main gifted project is my Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow which is my focus project for the year.  Last GG I had nearly finished Block 1.  Which was completed at the start of June:

Then I started on Block 5 which is almost all full-coverage:

Here's where I am now:

My Chatelaine, Gardens of London was a gift for my last Big-0 Birthday, different people bought me the chart, the fabric, the DMC and some of the speciality threads.

Here's where I finished at the end of last month:

My current Just Nan was a gift as it's a Travelling Pattern.  This is Tea with Honey:

and a close-up of the bees:

This little dragon is stitched on some gifted fabric.  The design is #2 in a series of 12 from Stitch It Picasso on Etsy:

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 "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.

Finally, it's IHSW this coming weekend followed by The Longest Day Marathon so expect to see ALL my WIPs stitched on that day.
