July Gifted Gorgeousness


That time again, for another Gifted Gorgeousness update...
(The gifted gorgeousness SAL is run by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching and this SAL features projects that have been gifted (like a pattern, floss, fabric, etc.) or pieces that you are going to gift to someone.)

I've been busy working on projects for my brother and sister-in-law and their children...
I have one last (well, I think last), mommy and baby pieces...

I finished the mother hen and her three chicks!
(Even completed their French knot eyes...
...not my best work, but I think they will do the job.)

Now to get all of the pieces cleaned, pressed and framed.

Since I've made pieces for my newest nephew, I figured I should make a couple pieces for niece and other nephew. (My older nephew will be getting the green dinosaur I finished last week.)

So, I made a piece featuring Anna and Elsa (from Frozen) for my niece...
The piece was stitched on 16 ct, dark pink Aida...
(I haven't worked on 16 ct. in a long time and it started out kinda rough, but I ended up really enjoying the whole process.  I think I may have to purchase some more 16 ct. fabric.)

I just hope my niece will like it...
(Pattern by Good Morning Maui)

Then, I started another piece for my other nephew...
It shall eventually become a minion...

(Pattern by Dazzling Doilies on Etsy)

So that is what I have been working on this past week...
...lots of stitching!
My sister-in-law is due any time now, so I really have to start finish/finishing the pieces.
(So much to do, so little time!)

Well, I hope everyone has a terrific weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog!

    1. Thanks so much Rosey!
      I will probably be tired of the yellow, especially since my son keeps eying the pattern. (Have a feeling I will be stitching more minions.)

  12. I think the whales are my favorite. Where did the dinosaur come from? My nieces are totally into dinosaurs right now, and I'm a good auntie. ;)
