A blog trying to focus on all the nice things in life, those moments when everything turns out right. Finding the perfect fabric for that chart you love, the ideal sampler quote, just the right picture in all the 1000s of magazines you own. Meeting people who share your interests and obsessions and totally understand why you NEED that chart when you already have enough to last until you're 104
Our new logo for the year is Just Nan's Special Delivery. The chart with the fabric and the gold envelope was a gift to me.
Please remember to change your badge and the link to the new page as the old link no longer works. Don't forget to link up on the main sign-up page with your blog address.
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.
My focus piece this month is stitched on gifted fabric.
Cricket Collection - Spring
stitched on 32 count Marie's Daffodil linen from Chromatic Alchemy
This one was a gift from the designer and the fabric was a gift too.
Steady Thread - Tree of Life Temperature SAL
stitched on 28 count Meadow Mist linen from Silkweavers
I record the temperature each day and then stitch the leaves on the Sunday morning.
My Dark 13 design is stitched on gifted fabric, a beautiful 40 count linen called Witch's Brew from Zweigart. My plan is to stitch one letter per month until we reach October and then complete it during Dark October.

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, I hosted the annual Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop on Valentine's Day. Some beautiful stitching was sent out all around the world. I made a collage to show them all:
Looks like a busy stitching year for you. I'm focused on one project right now until it's finished. Thanks for the secret sweetheart hop, it was fun! Have a good weekend😊
What a great month for gifts! I love how most of us seem to be able to find entries for this without even trying too hard, as we all got plenty of gifted supplies.
I have a feeling that your temperature tree will ennd up being a great piece of work. Icanalready see stitches here and there give me that feeling. And thank you for the most wonderful heart.❤️🩹
