    1. Cut a 20cm square from cream calico fabric. Download the templates, use to cut out the birdhouse and tree branch from patterned fabrics and back with interfacing. Cut out two large flowers from floral fabric and interface.

    2. Temporarily place the outer part of a 5” embroidery hoop onto the middle of the calico. Arrange the pieces as shown, except for the large flowers, and pin in place. Use navy thread to secure the birdhouse roof and to add a decorative scallop pattern. Secure the house with red thread, and use dark brown for the branch. Add a couple of tiny flowers to the top of the roof.

    3. Cut a large purple dot from spotty fabric and secure to the middle of the birdhouse with acid-free glue. Stitch in navy thread, adding a scallop shaped decoration. Cut a printed bird circle, keeping the white outline intact. Back with interfacing and place in the centre of the purple, as shown. Stitch around the bird in navy thread.

    4. Lay the hoop on top of the picture again and place the large flower at the bottom, adhering securely with acid-free glue. Allow to dry and use pink and green thread to add detail. Cut a couple of tiny flower motifs and two leaves, and stitch to the top branch.

    5. Trace ‘home’ from the template onto
