Gifted Gorgeousness August


Yesterday was the 15th so it was Gifted Gorgeousness hosted by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching a lovely chance to 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.


This month I have two gifts to share, norh of which you have probably seen in my FFO blog. The first is a heart I stitched for my friend Julie's birthday. It's a Little House Needleworks design and was fun to stitch. Finishing was a bit fiddly but it came out looking heart shaped.


My second finish also includes a heart, a sampler for our daughter's bridesmaid and her new hubby. They live here so our daughter and son-in-law came home for the weekend which was lovely. The wedding was just family and close friends but as we were playing taxi we did get to see the bride and groom, both looked lovely. 

I have stitched this before, it's a Lizzie Kate design that's quite quick to stitch and easy to align names.

My bigger project is about half way and I hope will be finished soon, as long as last weekend's frog does not visit again.

August's Fully Finished Objects

 

It's Fully Finished Objects time, hosted by Rachel  Ten Hour Stitcher . This year I haven't been stitching as much, mainly as I am not stitching a new theme for church. All my stitching is for others so I can't share progress and as such I'm only posting FFO and Gifted Gorgeousness posts, and they show the same.

I am posting on my other blog Wine, food and travel with Clare

I enjoyed working on these, it gave a break from my other stitching which is a bigger gift and taking longer than I thought it would. Hopefully I finish it in time and will be able to share soon.
