Here is the completed "Little Patchwork Village" wall quilt. Thanks to the gorgeous Janelle Wind for quilting it for me. I love the way it has turned out and the beautiful Holly Holderman Lakehouse Drygoods fabrics were just the thing! I am writing the pattern at the moment and it will be ready to make its way to the patchwork stores on Monday.
Leanne came over and helped me get the above photos. We had a little spectator who was very interested in what we were doing. I am not sure if I have ever introduced you to my lovely Tara. She is a sweety although quite neurotic.
Here are a couple of close ups of some of the blocks.
Little Patchwork Village is a single pattern with nine stitcheries. If you would like to be one of three lucky readers to win the pattern please leave a comment before Monday night. Good Luck!!

I love all the stitcheries & am a huge fan of the Sawtooth Star block. The pink & red look gorgeous together - just beautiful!

That is an adorable little quilt. I love doing embroidery on quilts. I am the proud finisher of "The Journey of a Quilter". I hope I win your pattern, I will definately enjoy making it. Especially as I am moving away from my three married children and two grandchildren and many friends and will have lots of time on my hands.

Hiya Rosalie, as always your pattern is just gorgeous. I'm in the middle of making "Confetti Bloom" (unfortunately for someone else) and would love to make something for myself.

I love this pattern! The cottages you show in the close-ups are so darling...they just say, "Happy" to me!

This pattern looks terrific. It looks like just the thing for one to do when they have a few spares minutes here and there. Keeping these fingers crossed.

Quite lovely! Don't you just love Holly's fabrics? They lend themselves so well to stitchery!

Love the stitcheries and love the fabric. I am waiting patiently for this fabric range to hit the stores after seeing it in a previous post of yours.

I absolutely love it. Have been checking back every day to see if it was already finished. I even already purchased the fabric (shame on me). This is again a lovely project. Love the combination of stitchery and patchwork.

Quite beautiful! Doing some kind of house quilt is going to be top of my 'to do' list for next year. Maybe this is the one!

What a lovely design; the stitcheries are so sweet and the candy colours are so fresh and pretty (and Tara is gorgeous too; when will she feature in a design??)_ Best wishes, Jan
