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 attempting International Hermit and Blackwork. I do love blackwork and have a couple of projects I want to try fit in to my rotation without being on the WIPGO Board.
My main blackwork piece is the Halloween Blackwork from The Steady Thread. It went from here:

I spent two days on the Blackwork and one on the lovely Scorpio from Nora Corbett. You can really see how her hair resembles the scorpion's tail now:

In the evenings I continued with my Just Nanathon and stitched three more designs:
Finally the next IHSW will be 20th - 22nd June 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.
