Wow the 15th came around again fast and I have an item to share under the theme as set by Jo at serendipitousstitching of something sewing or craft related either received as a gift or made as a gift.
You have seen part of this before, actually longer ago that I realised now that I come to think of it Back in February and I was killing two birds with one stone as the piece I picked for the Secret Sweetheart looked perfect for my BFF's coming birthday and her new crafting space. I sent it off to Jo just as the cross stitch and finished it to a book later. Amusingly my BFF(randomly selected by Jo) had this as her Secret Sweetheart stitch.
When it came to finishing it I had a very pale purple notebook and the size was a match . Just to give it a bit of something as it was not getting a "frame" I drew threads around the edges so a little of the book colour would show through. It is just glued on with a strong craft glue. It was intended for her 2021 birthday and we did manage to get together and exchange gifts a few months on from birthdays.
Now if you are getting deja vu from another participant in the link up well yes you may well have seen this before as I am posting this as a gift I made and my BFF is posting it as a gift received.
We should both be posting again in a day or two with our progress on our BFF Stitchalong.

Aww what a lovely gift to give and be given!! I love the idea of attaching it to a book. Your stitching is lovely too!
Great to see this very nice stitching twice from where it was made with love to where it will be used with love. That's a clever idea to drew threads and make appear the book color. I hope we'll see soon the contents of the catalogue. xxx
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I did do a double take! It's a great gift though and I like the drawn thread edge too. I do that with some of my scrapbooked pieces.
The drawn thread is a very effective way to frame it. Might think about that one if the TW SAL ends up on a book for me
That's such a lovely gift!
I love it! It came out lovely!
