Gifted Gorgeousness July Link-up Post
Welcome to the July 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 evening project was a gift from Vickie and is a finish already!
Lizzie*Kate - Sampling Christmas
stitched on 32 count Desert Sand evenweave
I just need to find a nice charm to fit inbetween P, Q, R and S
My replacement evening piece is being stitched on gifted fabric and will be a gift for a friend too:
Circle Cross - Hare Moon for Taurus
stitched on 28 count opalescent Robin's Egg evenweave from Silkweaver
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 "July 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, this post was missing a couple of photos because I was already late and just want to get it posted so you could add your links! All photos have been added now.
Lot of finishes those past weeks, a new start... must be a new zodiac pattern! Any chance for warm colors meaning summer hot days on your temperature tree? xxx
Lots of pretty stitching, Jo! That LK finish is adorable and I really love the temperature tree--so pretty. Hope you are staying cool during this hot, hot summer!
Wow! You really went to town on the LK sampler!! I wish we lived closer, I have tons of winter charms that would be perfect there...I think a snowflake would be adorable. I love your fabric for the Dark 13. That's going to look great when you get it finished. You already know I love your temperature tree. That opalescent Robin's Egg fabric is gorgeous! Can't wait to see more progress on that fabric. Thank you for hosting GG...Happy Stitching
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.
