July's Gifted Gorgeousness

Gifted Gorgeousness is hosted by the lovely Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching and the idea is to use all those charts/ kits/ threads/ etc that have been gifted to us over the years instead of leaving them sitting in our stash feeling unloved, shoehorning is also permitted :)

As ever my GG post is all about my progress on In The Post :)  the kit was my Christmas present off Fella in 2014 and started in Jan 2015 but it was put aside to do a couple of paid pieces so it became a weekend project his year and I'm well on my way to finishing it :)

So last weekend I started off by filling in the right hand edge of the design before moving on to the collection times panel and backstitching the post box as much as I could



And overall it's looking like this now


If I'm to meet my goal of finishing it this month I better pull my socks up for the next 3 weekends!

Good progress with the details back stitching brings.Love how the effect of greys nd white outline a building in the background.

Lovely work. There is so much detail in the background you have to keep looking at it!
