March Gifted Gorgeousness

Yesterday was the 15th which means it's time for a Gifted Gorgeousness check in. This wonderful SAL is from the fantastic Jo. The purpose is for the stitching community to share things they are stitching as gifts or have received as gifts. What a beautiful reason to blog.

My main focus for the SAL this year is the Family Crest I'm stitching for my Grandpa. My goal this year is to work on it at least one day every week and so far I've met that challenge and even more with some weeks working on it several days instead. Here is where I was on the Family Crest piece last check in...
I was close to a page finish. Here I am as of this morning...
I finished the page I was working on and started the page above it.

I also have a gift to report receiving. I have seen a few bloggers getting gifts from Bucilla. They are celebrating 150 years of business by sending out some free kits. I have no idea how they get the people they email but suddenly I found an email from them. I was even able to pick out the kit I wanted to receive. So I picked this one and it showed up quickly in the mail...
Now to just find time to stitch it haha. It's awaiting in my stash for now. What a great advertising campaign! I've done a kit from them before. The Dog Wisdom project I completed 2015 was from them. I really enjoyed it so I'm sure this one will be the same. See ya in April with hopefully more progress on the crest.
