Gifted Gorgeousness in October

I have finished stitching this piece! Now to FFO it for my husband's aunt.

One of these days I hope to make the actual ball.

Gifted Gorgeousness for September

Where did the summer go? Jo over at  Serendipitous Stitching hosts this SAL where we post items that we received as gifts, that we are giving to people, etc. You get the idea!
This is a gift for my husband's aunt. She is a Quaker and I thought I would stitch something up for her and put it on a box. I am so close to being done!
Here is where I last showed it:

 And here I am now!

         I need to finish the last large motif and then I will start adding little ones in the blank spaces.

Gifted Gorgeousness for August

I am behind, as usual, but I wanted to show that I have done a little stitching.
Jo over at    Serendipitous stitching    hosts this SAL and it is always fun to see what everyone else is working on that was a gift, is a gift or has the word gift in it!

This is a gift for my husband's aunt who is in her 90's. I am trying to get it done before Christmas. I'm so slow, it will be a race!

People's Choice for August

Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching hosts this SAL where each month we post on a different theme.

This month it is monochrome.I had hoped that I would have been able to start a new piece by today, but no such luck. But I do have a monochromatic project to show you!

Not much progress, but I am trying to work on it a little each week.
Do you like monochromatic projects? I have a few in my stash that are calling my name, but I am trying to resist! Linda do not tempt me!

Gifted Gorgeousness July

Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching hosts the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL where we post pictures of stitching things that were gifted to us or are gifts for others.
This piece is one I started last month but haven't taken the time to post. It will be a gift for my husband's aunt. She is a Quaker and I had the plan to make her The Quaker Ball by Denise Harrington Pratt.

 A friend has stitched the smallest one and I really want to try it.
BUT....this aunt is getting older and I am a slow stitcher. So I decided to grab a piece of fabric and the pattern and make something else.

The plan is to put the finished stitching on a box. Hopefully I can spend a bit of time on it soon. It is a lot of fun. The thread is a Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe thread called Continental Blue.
