IHSW--May 2021

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.

But as I work weekends, my stitching is confined to the evenings.  As this is the month of May, this weekend's stitchy time falls during Stitch Maynia.  This year my goals are towards finishing--completing stitches in a pattern AND finishing stitchy items into FFO's or Finally Finished Objects.

But as my weekend hours are limited, I worked on completing some patterns.  The first one I completed this weekend is my oldest living WIP--A Right Royal SAL that I started on 2018.06.26

But after many stitches over many months, along with many beads, I finished it up on 2021.05.24


Next up for the weekend was finishing a stitchy gift for a friend--Bumblebee which I started last summer on 2020.06.26.

The gorgeous hand dyed fabric named "Opal" was created by Mystic Fabrics and it shows it off to perfection!!



It feels so wonderful to have two finishes from this past weekend!  I'm looking forward to more finishes and of course more starts!!

That's a wrap on IHSW for May.  I look forward to seeing what June and PRIDE month brings!!  Feel free to leave a comment or a link to your blog post below.  Until next month...Be Well!!
