Gifted Gorgeousness - February

It's February 15th and time for this month's Gifted Gorgeousness post.  For this post, we show items that can be considered gifted, either to us or from us.  It's hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching.  Click the link for more information or to see what others have gifted this month.

I have several items to show you this month.  First is the August Owl from Leslie Teare's 2019 Facebook SAL. This will be going to WOCS (World of Charity Stitching) along with the rest of the owls to be made into a quilt, probably for a person in a Care Home.

Next is the letter K from the Ladybird Alphabet designed by Lucie Heaton and appearing in Cross Stitch Crazy #265.  I made this for my granddaughter's quilt, because she's always been fascinated by ladybugs.

Next is the Valentine Furry Tales Mouse, again designed by Lucie Heaton and appearing in World of Cross Stitching #238.  This will also be going to WOCS to be made into a quilt, along with the other monthly mice.

I made this Furry Tales Mouse back in 2016, originally for Kyleigh's quilt, but have decided to use it for this quilt instead, because it's perfect for March.  This is the St. Patrick's Day Mouse that was found in World of Cross Stitching #239.

I'm also still working on Ursula Michael's Lets Learn from Our Cat.  This is the most recent picture I have, but it's much further along now--I don't want to take it off the Q-Snaps just to take a photo.  It will be a gift for someone special when it's finished..

Finally, this is why I made the Ladybird letter for Kyleigh:

Great GG post. Lovely stitching. We always have ladybugs flying around house. When it gets warmer I put them outside to continue living their lives.

I love all your quilt blocks. I have a particular fondness for owls and mice, so I am smiling as I write.
