More cross stitched gifts.

At last some of the stitched gifts were received by their receipients so I can show you what I have been stitching lately.
This I finished back in March but delayed so much to post it to my friend Marabeth in the States. It is a gift for her first grandchild and I really wanted it to be special. An ABC sampler of course from an old Cross Stitcher magazine I had.

It is lovely isn't it? I am sorry Marabeth has to frame it herself but if I had it done here it wouldn't have survived the trip I suppose.
In fact I had stitched the same ABC sampler years ago for my son in a Round Robin with some lovely ladies all over the world.

It is still in my son's room. In fact he suggested that I gave this as a gift to Marabeth's grandson but I preferred to stitch it again adding all the details too so that my son can keep his.
Another gift I finished, had framed and gave as a present to our neighbourhood hairdresser friend who had twins is this one again from Cross Stitcher.

Isn't it sweet as well?
Another baby gift was something I bought for my son's new baby sister. A charm for the little princess which we, my son and I,gave together to her during a visit at the hospital.

Finally I would like to mention here a giveaway in another blog, a cross stitch blog you might like to join in, those of you who stitch.
