Missed it by THAT much!

I couldn't quite finish Nativity Tiny Town last night, though technically I guess I did finish it because the Nativity Frill is a separate chart and that's the part I haven't completed. I have to say that I wish the wise men had been designed a bit smaller so they didn't appear quite so disproportionate, but I understand they were made that way because they needed to "fill" their own design space if stitched separately.

I'm hoping to send this one and two other completed towns to a finisher to be made into drums soon, and once it's in drum form, I think the size difference will not be quite so obvious.

This should be finished later today, and I'm still not sure what I'm going to work on next. My guys are travelling this week, so I have the house to myself and I'm planning to get some spring cleaning done (though it's snowy and windy outside right now!), so I probably won't stitch very much this week.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

  2. You stitched that fast!
    Can't wait to see more of your drums.
    Yes, we had a bit of snow, but the wind is so fierce!

    1. Thanks Marilyn. I actually felt kind of slow with this one, but I do think it is more "stitch dense" than other Tiny Towns. Isn't the wind horrible?! I needed to fill my bird feeders yesterday but I just couldn't bring myself to walk around the house to do it. 🥶

    1. Thanks! It looks like it will be a couple of months before the finisher can get to them, so that will be something to look forward to.
