As for my contribution, I took my inspiration from the book Happy Villages by Karen Eckmeier.
With just a couple of templates provided in the book you can make any type of village you desire. As for my village I chose a Halloween Village since this is the Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop.

After laying out my design and adding a few dots of glue to hold my pieces in place, I covered the piece with wedding tulle in black and stitched around the motifs. A nd with the addition of a button or two I had my village all ready for Halloween.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Don't forget to visit the others on the hop.
Life is a journey...have a great day!
This is my kind of Halloween village...love it! Putting the tulle over it and then stitching gives an interesting look that is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing and hopping with us!
