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
Welcome to the March 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 last month was 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.

IHSW starts today and as part of my A-Z Challenge I have reached E and F. So today I will be working on English Transitional Sampler by Scarlet Letter. The kit was a gift. This is where I am starting:

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 "March 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.

🐇 Good Friday - Friday 29th March 🐇
Finally, it's time to sign up for the Annual Easter Treasure Hunt. If you would like to take part this year, just leave a comment here. The week before Easter I will send you a letter of the alphabet which will form part of the mystery phrase. On Good Friday you will post that letter along with a photo of something seasonal that you have stitched (could be Easter or Spring or just something cheerful and sunny or floral). We all hop around like little bunnies to find the Mystery Phrase!
Your CEC is so pretty; I just love the yellow fabric. The tree of Life is really pretty with all of the range of colors on the leaves. I look forward in seeing your progress on the English Transitional Sampler.
Thank you for hosting GG! It's always a treat for the eyes to visit your blog. You have the most interesting projects. I love your tree, so cute that you are adding the leaves for the temperatures. Spring is lovely!! Your sampler really is a gorgeous piece!! I'm looking forward to your Easter hop! Happy Stitching!
Cricket Collection Spring so cute.The temperature tree is also growing beautifully. I would like to participate in the Easter project, but I can't because I have never celebrated Easter or done anything with eggs.Sorry.🙇
