Gifted Gorgeousness November Link-up Post
Welcome to the November 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.
For October, my focus was my spooky conversion of CCN's Main Street which was a lovely Halloween finish:
stitched on 32 count Charcoal Slate Murano from Sparklies
I continued with my Dark 13 project which is Mani di Donna's Halloween Sewing Basket and FFO'd that in time for Halloween.
So far this month my focus has been my Chatelaine Gardens of London. This was a gift for a Big Zero Birthday. This month I've been stitching the iconic phone boxes.
I also had a new start which was a prize I won, stitched on gifted fabric. This is Tree of Life from Steady Thread and will be a Temperature SAL for 2024
I made some more progress on the Zodiac Signs from Circle Cross' Tarot design. I finished Libra and Scorpio then started on Sagittarius:

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 "November 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.

Wow! So many amazing projects this month, Jo! Love how the Halloween basket turned out--that looks like a very complicated finish (for me at least :). Enjoy your weekend ♥
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.
I love your spooky houses and your Halloween basket, lovely stitching. The tarot cards are so effective, thank you for hosting GG.
