Winter Village so far....

 Winter Village 

Thought I'd give a progress report on the Winter Village Quilt I'm currently working on.

It's Called Winter Village by Edyta Sitar

The Pattern can be found at Laundry Basket Quilts but it is also in Edyta's Book A Season In Blue

I started working on this Quilt in April 2024

Edyta Sitar 

I made a good start following Edyta's YouTube instructions. But then like the Blackbird Crafter I am got sidetracked by lots of Shiny Little Projects...

In between these Beautiful distractions I stitched a few Houses here and there over the months.

There were 23 Blue Houses in total.

Although I did make a rouge Red One just for the fun of it

I have Built all the Houses now. And have made a start on the Quilting.

Machine Quilting 

Some close-ups of My Machine Stitching. Just inside the doors and windows followed by Stitching just outside the doors & windows. And some diagonal Machine Stitching on a roof.

Hand Stitching/Quilting 

Above. I've decided to Hand Stitch Hearts in different sizes in the Sashing and other spaces.

May 3rd 2025 Update

I have just finished the Hand & Machine Stitching on the top half of my Winter Village 

I'm so enjoying seeing this Quilt come to life as I add more and more Stitches to it. I'm using four different sized heart outlines for the Hand Stitching. All the Hand Stitching in Blue (an Aurifil Thread) For the machine Stitching 

I'm using a YLI Natural Colour Thread.

Lots yet to do. Including some Appliqué Branches and Birds.

What do you think of it so far?
