First IHSW for 2020....

This past weekend was International Hermit and Stitch Weekend (IHSW).

It is such a lovely idea, isn't it? To be stitching with other like-minded people from all over the globe, no matter the time zone, all weekend long - bliss!  In fact, any stitching time is great, isn't it?

You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook or click on the pic of Hermie below:



My IHSW started on Friday with FNSI (another virtual SAL), you can read all about what I stitched on this post here. 

So, I kept on with my rotation of stitching but added a few more to it.  Altogether I stitched on seven different projects. 

1. Winter Wonderland by CCN

I am very happy with my productive IHSW and remember to check out the FB page if you would like to see what other stitchers got up to.

You had a wonderful IHSW, so many lovely projects, I love the colours in the Temperature SAL
The Tempting Tangles and Bullfinch Ornaments are wonderful too.

Well done Kaye, you really did achieve a lot this month.

Looks like you had a most successful IHSW, Kaye! Will anxiously await seeing all of your PS Santas appear! I have a lot left to do, too, but tend to just stitch one or two a year. Not sure I'll ever finish them all :)
