Gifted Gorgeousness September Link-up Post
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.
At the end of August I was working on my Chatelaine Gardens of London, mostly the border but I did get a guardman's hut stitched too:
stitched on 32 count Cotton Clouds linen from Crafty Kitten
Then for September, my focus has been Fairy Idyll from Mirabilia. I am so in love with this project! I'm stitching her for 14 days this month.

I am continuing with my Dark 13 project which is Mani di Donna's Halloween Sewing Basket. The plan for this one is to stitch it on the 13th of every month.

I made some more progress on the Elements from Circle Cross' Tarot design and continued with the third Zodiac sign - Leo:
stitched on 28 count sky blue evenweave from Silkweavers
Little Snapdragon was my evening project until I finished it:

Since then. Turn, Turn, Turn from Noteworthy Needle has been my evening project again:
stitched on 32 count Sea Spray linen from Wichelt
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 "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.

Finally, it's International Hermit & Stitch Weekend this weekend. I'll be working on Fairy Idyll for one day and then returning to Taurus on Sunday. September really is a Nora Corbett sort of month!

I do enjoy your comments and will reply where relevant, so please make sure you are not a "no-reply" person! If you are a robot then please pretend there is a word verifier and go away. I have removed it for the commenting pleasure and ease of my human followers.
