Hi all,
Gifted Gorgeousness - run by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching - is our chance to show off stitched gifts (primarily cross stitch) we have given or received during the month. The sign up date is 15th, closing at the end of that month. Visit Jo HERE to read all about it, and maybe "sign up" too? And go here to see who else joined in this month.
This picture is the button provided by Jo to show we are joining her.
Over on Instagram Zoe Mayson (@zoemayson) offered her lovely scraps to make a hexie pincushion, and I was one of the lucky ones who won some of them, and since finishing it I fell in love with making hexagons again!
After the pincushion one thing led to another and I found this lovely pattern for a hexagon needle book by Emma of Vintage Sewing Box. I have finished but I don’t think I have a photo of the actual finished item!
Since "lock down" started I’ve been stitching more of my Cocoa Sampler, (from Cross Stitcher magazine) and it’s getting pretty close to a finish now!
A reminder of how it was looking.

| Now I've added the white stitches and the Owl is finished except for the dreaded backstitch! |

| also finished the green and blue chequerboard pattern! |
I really like cross stitch but I only have two projects on the go. I want to stitch more but can't find anything suitable. I'm going to stitch a flower for Claire (Aimetu's Stitching) but I haven't found one yet. So there will be a few more cross stitch projects in the pipe-line.
If you are passing by on Instagram you can find me as @flashinscissors.
Hugs,

I made one of those pincushions back in the day and haven't a clue what became of it...suspect it became a quick gift for someone. Your cross stitch project is looking great - so many fun motifs. Alas not much cross stitching or fine stitching for me for awhile until after I get my cataracts looked after.
Lovely makes with the hexagons and your cross stitch is looking lovely :)
Hi Barb wow i sure love your new pin cushion ,congrats on winning the scraps for it.Your needlecase is stunning and i love your cross stitch ,well done on your beautiful work my friend xx
The pincushion and the needle book are lovely. You have amazing sewing skills.
I will be stitching a flower for Claire's tree too, but haven't started it yet as our postal system is still not operating.
They are great jobs, Barbara!
the hexagonal pincushion seems exquisite to me.

These are just beautiful stitching project Barbara! I used to love cross-stitch, and did a ton of it but then quilting took over. Did a little hexie work years ago too. I love that pincushion; you did a wonderful job. It was great 'seeing' you this morning!
I think hexies are just about as addictive as pincushions! hmmmm....wonder if there is a hex-a-long somewhere....lol....I love your work, Barbara.....the last time I tried to do needlework was about 20 years ago....I just don't have the patience for it but I certainly do admire the loveliness of it and I admire those who persevere and create the loveliness
Well I do love a hexagon! So your projects are right up my street. Lovely.
I love the colours in your cocoa sampler and the motifs are pretty too. xx
Que bonitos todos tus trabajos! Hace mucho que no bordo en punto de cruz!

I like the hexagon you made; it looks good. Good luck with frogging the little lamb to fit!
Your hexie pincushion is simply adorable! I've been wanted to try hexies for a while now, I see people making such sweet things, but yours is the sweetest, the fabrics are beautiful.

Good progress all around.
Hexies are so useful, a bit like Lego building blocks. Love the pin cushion and needle book.
Lovely stitching and the pincushion is just gorgeous
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. The Hexagon pincushion looks great.
Nice work on the sampler too.
Love it so much
These are lovely!
You do make some wonderful things Barbara. A treat to see the all. Jo x
Love your little hexie pincushion and the needlebook, great way to use up scraps and these have turned out so pretty. Looks like the lovely cocoa sampler is almost finished.
I do like your hexie pincushion, many thanks for sharing it with us.
All the best Jan
Love the little hexie pin keep. Your cross stitch project looks lovely. I haven't done any cross stitch is ages but I'm working on some right now.
