Gifted Gorgeousness

It's February 15th which means it's the second check in of 2015 for Jo's Gifted Gorgeousness. I can at last share some of my stitched gifts from January. A very good friend from work is getting married on Wednesday, her and her partner had a civil ceremony in 2008 but now, thanks to a change in UK law, they are actually getting married.

I saw this Lizzie Kate sampler and though it perfect, and but using LK lettering I added the date of their civil ceremony and their names. I gave it them this afternoon and they loved it. I was so pleased.

Back in November at Needlecraft Haven meet up we set up an exchange where we made a bookmark for our partner (chosen at random and kept secret). I always feel that an exchange item is a gift so here is the bookmark I gifted to Kate.

Thanks Jo for organising this mid month challenge - it's great fun and nice to share gifted work. In saying that I'd like ot share two gifts I received, my bookmark from Julie and yesterday my stitched Valentine's card for the Needlecraft Haven Sweet Feet exchange.

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I love the sampler, each one can think that she is the wife in the right!
Lovely to see other gifts you have received as well as exchanged too.

I love that first piece, you were so clever adding the names and date, it looks as if it was charted that way! Perfect saying for two wives. Gorgeous gifts given and received, I love the macaroon bookmark!
