Gifted Gorgeousness in June

 


Hopefully this post will appear although I might not be able to add it to Jo's link up post ... why? Because I wrote and scheduled this on 10th June as we are now in Germany on holiday. I may be online but just in case 🙂

So Gifted Gorgeousness is hosted each month by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. GG, on the 15th of each month, is when we share our latest gifts. These can be gifts given or received, or any item made using fabric, threads, buttons, ribbon, chart, backing fabric that has been gifted. If you visit Jo's blog you'll find the links to everyone's Gifted Gorgeousness posts.

I only have two items to show and one you may have seen in my June FFO post. As it is a special year we had a Platinum Jubilee Exchange on Needlecraft Haven. The idea was to stitch a coaster themed on the Jubilee.

I received a beautiful card and gorgeous coaster from Gill, it has been on the sideboard throughout the celebrations and is now with my other stitched coasters - thank you Gill.



My coaster was for Mary and as I mentioned before the metal thread was challenging but so effective. 


Waving to you all from Germany 👋

What beautiful stitching! Definitely an amazing celebration for your country. Both coasters are lovely, but I love the bling in the one you sent to Mary! Enjoy your holidays in Germany! (I lived there for a few years...)

Lovely coasters! I've not stitched with metal thread; but can imagine it would be difficult. I popped in from Gifted Gorgeousness.

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Well done on getting the post up even while on holiday! Love those special coasters.
