I rarely receive stitchy type gifts, but most of my stitching is given to others, the main recipient being the Ronald McDonald House in Orange, CA.  I have four pieces that qualify this month.  The first three will be going to the Ronald McDonald House this coming Christmas.

Christmas Cactus - Mill Hill

Santa Cruise - Mill Hill

Snowman Sweater - Cross Stitcher Magazine #377 - Emma Congdon

 

The fourth is a quilt square that will be added to others throughout the year and then be made into a quilt.  Not sure where it will be going yet though.
