Part five of the Gingerbread Village Series! This delicious and delightful Gingerbread Bakery is the fifth addition to Thea's Gingerbread Village. Collect the latest Tree Etui, the Stitching House, the Church and the Candy Cane Cottage, and now the Bakery, this Gingerbread building is stitched on Gingerbread colored linen. I used a lovely chocolate brown for the roof! First I created the main shop, with large picture windows showing all our bakery has to offer.. and then an additional kitchen wing, where all the pies, cookies and gingerbread are baked in the ovens by the bakers! You will be stitching with yummy silk flosses, Perle Cottons, sparkling beads and delicious looking ‘candy’ snow buttons. This building was not lined, which makes finishing easier and faster! This delicious and fragrant Gingerbread Bakery is dripping with icing, and lots of decorative candies to welcome the hungry visitor. Some finishing instructions are included at the end of this leaflet. This year, place all five pieces on your mantle for the Holidays! You can also place them on your dining room table, or hall table to give you some extra Christmas cheer as you stitch your last minute ornaments. Look for more Gingerbread Village additions in future years! Sending all of you a delicious and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our house to yours!
