Gingerbread Stitching House - Downloadable PDF Chart - Part 1 of Gingerbread Village
Description
Stitch a Gingerbread House - part 1 of the Gingerbread Village! A lined Gingerbread House trimmed with button and bead candies, and decorated with white stitched ‘icing sugar’ is a delicious addition to my Gingerbread Garden Sampler! Sweet icing-sugar snow covers everything. A Gingerbread boy and girl stand next to one window, amid the candy canes and delectable candy flower beds. A jaunty snowman made of icing sugar is watching over one of the Gingerbread birdhouses, where tiny cardinals are feeding. The whole delicious fragrant Gingerbread house is dripping with icing, has glowing windows, and lots of decorative candies to welcome the hungry visitor. The matching Biscornu, Chimney Pincushion and Scissors Fob are the perfect Christmas Stitching Accessories! To make Finishing easy for you, Lisa’s incredibly complete "Beautiful Finishing" instructions are included at the end of the Gingerbread House leaflet! There are over 30 full colour step by step photos along with their clear instructions to help you construct your lined Gingerbread House, Scissors Fob, and Biscornu! Place the complete Gingerbread House on your mantle, on your Christmas table as a centerpiece, or beside your Stitching Chair to give you some extra Christmas cheer as you stitch your ornaments. Sending all of you a delicious and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my house to yours! - Thea
