Gingerbread Mice - Ornaments - Embroidery and Cross Stitch Pattern - PDF Download

“...Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...!”  Stitch these adorable little Gingerbread Mice to run around your Gingerbread Village! Mice have been associated with Christmas for many years, and this year, I’ve created three tiny Gingerbread Mice for you, each one stitched with different Christmassy floral motifs and specialty stitches. One features Poinsettias, another has a Bunny with some lovely Hellebore Blossoms, and another some Pine Boughs and Cones. The bottoms of each mouse can be personalized with name and date if you like (Alphabet in our online Mini Patterns section) and they are meant to live either in your Gingerbread Village, on the boughs of your Christmas tree, as part of your Christmas table decorations, or peeking around a book on your shelf ! Go to the Victoria Sampler Youtube Channel for Lisa's easy finishing directions on video. Stitch and finish all three Gingerbread Mice to enjoy as part of your Christmas decor! I just love these sweet little creatures!  - Thea
