At the beginning of the year this is how my Patchwork Village looked.... I had the stitcheries done and the fabric for the blocks chosen.......
It's taken me a while but not I can say my little patchwork village is built
This is a Rosalie Quinlan design
lovely pattern
I used a variegated thread for the quilting which you can see I made quite big designs in the large empty spaces drawn on using a template and frixion pen
(personally I'm not really happy with that part but I am still a learner quilter so I have to accept what I can do)

orange peel loops on the triangles
just a small wavy line around the stitcheries
(those I like)

then some waves and feathers on the borders
(I do like feathers and I think they look okay)
