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! :)

    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.

    What a pretty finish! I LOVE that design! Both Poinsettias and Prairie Moon are great charts. That is going to be a tough decision!

    Congrats on the finish. It looks lovely! Are you going to frame it? I think it would be a cute tie-on pillow!

    I really like the Prairie Sampler as well :)

    So what's this I'm reading about you moving away??? I just found a local stitchy friend! You can't leave!! ;)
