That means it's time for Gifted Gorgeousness again, we're challenged by Jo over at http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com to post gifts we've stitched, or that were gifted to us.
I feel almost like I'm cheating posting this one, as you've seen it before, back in the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop on Valentines day. I loved the piece I received from my Sweetheart even then, and I love it even more now that it is MINE for real, and living in my Happy Place mounted on a book. Just good luck that my BFF got me to post for, and (editing this after the fact) I know we ended up double - posting for GG, her as a gift giver, me as a lucky recipient!
Here it is, next to a photo taken in my other Happy Place, our holiday haven of Warkworth, which is now much closer to home!
I plan to use the book to catalogue my stitches, with maybe a small photo and a brief note about each piece.
I've also been working on a baby sampler as a gift for my young niece, but as it's yet to be finished or gifted, I will wait for a while before I can share that one.
Other gifts may make an appearance in a later post.
What a lovely gift! And a great idea to catalogue your stitching too!
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift, good idea to do a catalogue, I try to keep a list but I often forget

ReplyDeleteVery cute idea to mount it on a book to use for cataloging your stitching! I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy BFF's idea there to mount it, as I received the finished piece as a gift, but my own plan for my stitching catalogue. Thank you x
