Welcome to my blog! Today I want to share some stitcheries with you. I am taking a break from stitching baskets, though I do have two new ones done. I have started working on "Little Patchwork Village" by Rosalie Quinlan. You can see the pattern
here. And for those in the USA, the pattern is available
here. I have the top row done. There are nine Village buildings and each is the center of a star. One of the buildings is a bird house. The stitching goes fairly fast in backstitch. Once I got three stitcheries done, I pieced the stars because I was anxious to see what they would look like. I am working on a 4th block now.
Here are the two basket stitcheries I have finished since my last post. The light is not the best this morning. Click on the picture to get a better view. The patterns are also by Chestnut Junction and are called "Patty Basket" and "Basket 'O Cats". I will be returning to stitching baskets soon as I still have a pile to go.
I am off to do some stitching. Come back soon.

LOL - Karen - I started working on the village last night. This too funny.
The two new baskets are darling.
Karen, I love the star blocks. Those are going to be so cute. The basket blocks are cute too. Have a great day. Raining here, so I guess I get to play in my sewing area. (grin) Winona

Hi Karen! The star village stitchery blocks are looking real good. :-D
What adorable stitcheries!
They look wonderful. Fell in love with Rosalie's stitching as well.
I am also working on the Patchwork Village- finished the embroidery not for the blocks!! Don't you just love them!

Love that village stitchery project, Karen. Looks like a lot of you are working on it at the same time.
Will it finish as a quilt top?
That is SO cute! I love the way the houses are turning out. Very nice! And the baskets.. adorable!

The village with stars is very nicely done. I love the baskets too.
I like the baskets, Karen... but the "little patchwork village" is my favorite now! I love seeing stitchery combined with or as part of a block. Looks great!

Your Rosie Quinlan stitchery is so beautiful...I have admired that pattern for a while (I did her "Love Is" stitchery a couple of years ago - her stuff is really nice!). Thanks for the link as to where to get it in the U.S.!!
In stitches,

Your Patchwork Village is going to look great. I wonder what the village is called? Stitchville? Patchtown? Who knows.
Oooo such lovely sticheries...I love how they are set in stars :0)

Great stitcheries, Karen. They're looking wonderful as centers in your star blocks.
I forgot to say in my other comments, that I love the new header picture. I am a avid lover of houses in quilts so the photo really caught my eye.
