IHSW or International Hermit and Stitch Weekend always starts on the third Friday of the month. It's a chance to lock yourself away and focus on your stitching for the weekend. You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook.
This year I am trying something different for IHSW - an A-Z Challenge! These usually take place in April and people stitch one letter every day except Sunday. I don't want to swap projects daily so thought I could do 2 or 3 letters per IHSW instead.
June is L and M.
I didn't have an active project for K so I'm skipping that one!
IHSW also coincided with my Longest Day/Week Marathon so I contrived it that the weekend projects all fitted the L and M letters.
Chatelaine - Gardens of LONDON - before:
After:
MRS Peggotty - Queen of Hearts - before:
After:
Steady Thread - Tree of LIFE - before:
After:
LIVING on the Rainbow - 3D Haunted House - after
MIRABILIA - Fairy Idyll - before:
And the whole piece so far:
Next month will be N and O. I don't have an O, so I might skip that and go straight to P. We shall see!
Finally the next IHSW will be 19th - 21st July so make sure you note the date in your diary or come and join us in the Facebook Group - IHSW on Facebook. If you don't do Facebook then you can check in here by leaving a comment on my post.
