Everybody appreciates appreciation and what a lovely surprise it was to find that Gracewood Stitches has received a Liebster Blog Award!

If you aren't familiar with the Liebster, which means 'favorite' in German, it is a way for bloggers to help each other out by spreading the word about their blogs.

The kind blogger who gave Gracewood Stitches the award is fullnovembermoon a lovely lady whose inspiring posts and updates of her beautiful stitching can be highly recommended. Thank you for the award.

As part of the Liebster tradition it is passed along to 5 bloggers that have motivated and inspired you. To accept the award you must -

1. Link back to the person who gave it to you and thank them.
2. Post the award to your blog.
3. Give the award to 5 bloggers with less than 200 followers that you appreciate and value.
4. Leave a comment on the 5 blogs to let them know that they have been offered this award.

It is my pleasure to offer the Liebster blog award to these 5 blogs -
