Stitch church out first onto the fabric

Stitch Ginger as close to the cherry tree of the church as possible. Make sure you bring the Ginger house forward, as seen in the enlarged photo

Stitch Garden house as close to the cherry tree on the other side of the Church. Once again making sure you bring the Garden house forward. If you look at the enlarged photo, I did not bring the Garden house forward enough, the Garden house should have come forward a fraction more, giving the correct persepective

Stitch the shop as close as possible to the Garden house

Stitch the Printers house as close as possible to the shop. When I took the Printers house out of the hoop, realised I had not lined the house up properly and the house is going slightly down south, as you can see in the enlarged photo

Beside the Printers house stitch the pub as close as possible

I should have put picket fence tree between the Pub and Red house, if time was on my side.

Stitch the Red house as close as possible to the Pub

Beside the Red house I would stitch picket fence_fl. Once again time not on my side.

At the front of the houses from the steps using the straight stitch from your sewing machine using a similar colour as the fabric and your straight stitch. Stitch all the way down, giving a nice quilted effect

Draw using the blue marking pen cloud effects at the top of the wall hanging.

Using your straight stitch once again for the cloud effect follow your blue marking pen.

For the border you will notice I designed a very simple pattern for the corners and the sides. A straight line for the front border. You should keep the border simple, as you have enough going on in the quilt

Applique the border onto the wall hanging

How to Patchwork the designs into a Quilt

Threads of the Village Machine Embroidery Design Instructions

I have used Vlisofix to make this quilt. Vlisofix is a paper product with glue on either side, once you have taken the paper backing away, you then iron one side with the fabric of your choice and then iron onto the backing fabric. Above is an example (Vlisofix is the Australian name for this product, as to what it is called overseas I have no idea) I purchased the Vlisofix product from Stirling Embroidery http://stirlingembroidery.com
