Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins must have had fun creating this pattern because it was such fun to recreate.  Each building has its own charm and embellishing it with beads was even more fun.  Not being a machine quilter, I found it a challenge to do justice to the atmosphere of the village.  (Beading followed the quilting process).  Hand-pieced.  Hand-appliquéd.  Machine-quilted.

The "Juniper and Pine" pattern is from the More Joy to the World  book by Nancy Smith and Lynda Miligan.  The only variation I made is the 3-D effect for the corner poinsettias.  Machine-pieced.  Machine-appliquéd.  Machine-quilted.

I grew up in Spokane where the countryside often looked like this as we visted family in the Palouse area.  I can still hear my mother singing this to me.  Hand- and machine-pieced.  Machine-quilted.  Pattern: "Crabapple Hill."
