Karen Eckmeier is a guest of Sheryl Borden, the host and producer of the PBS KENW-tv3 show “Creative Living” demonstrating how a village magically appears starting with basic shapes, the addition of roof tops and windows. A layer of netting (fine tulle) and quilting hold the raw edges of the fabric in place.

For more detailed instructions and other village ideas refer to the book Happy Villages on Karen’s website: www.kareneckmeier.com.
