It's Gifted Gorgeousness time - on the 15th of each month we share our latest gifts. Any gift given or received and any item made using fabric, threads, buttons, ribbon, chart, backing fabric that has been gifted is also allowed in our GG posts.
This great idea is hosted each month by the lovely Jo at
Serendipitous Stitching, if you visit her blog you'll find the links to everyone's Gifted Gorgeousness posts.
I have a few things this month to share, the first items are very special. Our super daughter and her boyfriend have moved into a new flat, no more sharing, this is just for them.
As a new home gift I stitched them a zodiac coaster each and we bought them matching mugs. They were delighted with them. The designs were in an old magazine and matched the mugs perfectly.

As I was stitching for them I also made our son a coaster. This one I designed myself. He organises and runs game nights for his friends, they play Dungeons and Dragons. He's the Dungeon Master!

A while ago I stitched this for Hubby's sister who will be 60 in October. She lives in Michigan so we gave her her card and gifts when she visited the UK in June. She couldn't resist opening them which is why I can share the photo now.

My final gift this month is a rose I bought for my Mum to say thank you for all her help whilst I recovered from my fall. It's a pink patio rose called 'thank you and I found the perfect colour matching pot at the garden centre.

It's great to at last be able to show the gifts I made, there are a couple more but they will have to wait until next GG as I haven't given them yet.

Oh I loved the coasters I am an Aquarius and my husband is a Saggitarius so they suit us perfectly too. What a lovely couple Philippa and Michael are!AriadnefromGreece!
Beautiful gifts you have made Clare. I agree with Ariadne. Your daughter and her boyfriend are a lovely couple.
Lovely and thoughtful gifts. And I agree with the others about the lovely couple.
Such lovely and thoughtful gifts! Your stitching is very nice! I hope you are feeling better after your fall!
Beautiful stitching. I love your coasters. They are fantastic gifts.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I love those coasters! I would be tempted to stitch all 12 so every guest could have the right coaster.
Beautiful sampler for your SIL too. It's nice that she opened it so you could see her reaction straightaway.
What great gifts, especially the stitchy ones!
Ah, the perfect rose as a thank you.
Lovely gifts! I hope Philippa and Michael will be very happy in their new home

Oh very lovely gifts - I love the idea of making coasters x
Lovely gifts for everyone. The coasters and mugs are such a good idea for a house-warming present. :)
Wonderful gifts. I love the coasters. I just started playing D&D so that coaster is too cool. Thanks for sharing.
