Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day to those in the US! While it's nice to have a long weekend, this one is always bittersweet to me because it means summer is almost over. I do love autumn weather, but I'm not particularly fond of winter. 🥶

I was able to finish Heart in Hand's Any Town Tiny Town last Wednesday, on PTP Demoiselle Belfast:

Now I have two of these, as I stitched a personalized version a couple of years ago:

I'll put it away for now and when I have more Tiny Towns finished, I'll send them to Faye Riggsbee to be "drummed". Quilted Tiny Town is next on my list, but it will probably be a while before I start it because I heard from Wichelt last week and they are going to be sending a couple of Nora Corbett models to be stitched.

While I wait for those to arrive I'll continue to work on Nora Corbett's Indian Ocean Mermaid, which I started last Thursday:

I'm using a darker skin palette, both because it seems more representative of the geographical region and because I think these tones mesh better with the other colors in the design. I am really enjoying working on her and hope to get enough done in the next few days that it will be feasible to finish her before I make a start on one of the models.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
