Gifted Gorgeousness

Today is the 15th of the month which means it's time for a Gifted Gorgeousness check in. The lovely Jo has hosted this awesome blog check in so we can share things we have received as gifts or are stitching for someone else as a gift. It's always wonderful to see some positive things going on in the stitching community. Stop over to Jo's check in post to see what everyone has shared this time.

I have two gifts I'm so excited to share with you guys.

First I received a set of 4 lovely season charts designed by New York Dreamer...

Plus look at the card. It looks almost delicious enough to eat. Here is a closer picture of the seasonal charts...

Janet from Janet's Jabber Flosstube video is a dear friend in real life. We've known one another for almost all of kid's lives. She just finished this set this year and I asked if I could borrow them. I told her I would pass them forward when I finish them. I am adding these to my 2020 plans. So after I finish them I will host a giveaway to pass them to someone else. I really can't wait to start them. I will start with winter in January.

Then I received a surprise in the mail...

If you remember I finished two Seka's hearts that I had in my Box of Shame earlier this year that I had stitched in 2005 and 2006. Elaine was stitching the Thanksgiving Heart and I just LOVED her WIP photos on Facebook. So I told her sometime we could trade patterns since I had the 2 I had stitched. We asked one another did we want to trade now and she said she had too much to work on. I said Oh me too. Plus I would have to buy the floss. Then the next thing I know I get an envelop in the mail with not only the pattern but the floss with a note that says Here now you don't have to buy them. They are not normal DMC floss that I keep in stock and when you buy them it's more than enough to do the pattern a few times over. So she sent the pattern and floss to me with the idea to pass it forward as well when I'm finished up. There will more than likely be more than enough thread. So this one also is going on my 2020 plans. Here is a look at Elaine's gorgeous finish of the Thanksgiving Heart that she posted on Facebook...

Another I can't wait to do.

A gift I'm planning to stitch for someone else in my 2020 plans is this one...

Jeremiah LOVES Boba Fett from Star Wars. I bought this one awhile ago. I told him it's time to add it to my WIP list. Yes it's also one I'm really looking forward to starting. Remember I'm in a STITCH ALL THE THINGS mood haha. Okay that's all for this check in. See ya tomorrow for a Monday update.
