Welcome to the August 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 piece started in last month became a finish, 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
This month, my evening piece was a chart I gave to a friend as a Birthday present and then she gave it back to me to stitch! I'm using the offcut of Sparklies' Tigerlily Murano for these.
Shepherd's Bush - Halloween Trifles

My focus piece for this month is Joan Elliott's Faces SAL, stitched on gifted fabric:
stitched on 28 count Snapdragon Jazlyn from Crafty Kitten
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.
A little bit behind because of how busy it's been
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.

Finally, 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 "August 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.
