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:
to here:
stitched on 32 count tea-dyed linen
Always exciting when the border meets up!
This is the part I worked on over the weekend:
I'm a little bit behind with my Temperature Chart but here is the most recent photo, lots of lovely oranges and a bit of red to be added:
stitched on 14 count Aida banding
Finally the next IHSW will be 18th - 20th 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.
Oh Jo some lovely works of heart here.
