Gift stitching


The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.  ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur

This year it is my intention to do lots of stitching not only for my enjoyment but also to give away as gifts.  Kathy's 70th birthday was my first gift stitch of the year.  I started another one which was a freebie from one of the cross stitch magazines and while it might have been just a small item I have so far only managed to complete half of it.  I hope to get it completed this week though.


Me being me though and always flitting from one project to another have just started another gift stitch which also needs to be completed this month.  I will give you a sneak peek of this one as it needs to be kept fairly secret until the recipient receives it.


This one has lots of lovely bright colours and so far is stitching up quite quickly.
