Gingerbread Cottage Finished!

I got it finished up this morning. It was such a fun stitch! I ended up not putting faces on my gingerbread men. I tried it with one strand and with two and I just didn't like it, so I left them plain. :)




Country Cottage Needleworks "Gingerbread Cottage"
Fabric: 32 ct. Vintage Lentil
Threads: DMC and Crescent Colours
Started: 11/18/07 - Finished: 11/24/07

I was thinking of starting LHN "Prairie Sampler" next. I just love this one! The fabric I was going to stitch it on (32 ct. Examplar) is not big enough though, so I may go with 32 ct. Vintage Examplar. I'm also thinking of starting "Poinsettias and Pines" by Blue Ribbon Designs. Decisions, Decisions! Write later! :)

  2. That stitched up so cute! I picked up the chart at the Houston Quilt Festival but I so doubt I'll get it stitched this year - maybe for next year.
    Congrats on the finish.
