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.
August was P and Q but I totally forgot to swap out my projects so I think I'd better do them next weekend instead.

My evening project are the Halloween Trifles from Shepherd's Bush. I have finished the first one and started the second.

Next month will be R and S. I don't have an R project at the moment but S is covered by a number of projects so I will be spoiled for choice!
Finally the next IHSW will be 20th - 22nd September 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.

Love the top stitching , is it a chart or are you using parts of other designs . Hugs June.
Awww the Halloween trifles are very cute! And your faces piece is coming along nicely! I always saved the facial features for last because I couldn't stand something staring at me while I stitched....LOL!! Happy Stitching!
Oops on forgetting to swap projects, but I can see how you'd get absorbed by the Faces and Halloween Trifles, the both look amazing!
