Christmas on Gingerbread Lane
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery
Here's Christmas on Gingerbread Lane, The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's irresistible cross stitch design featuring gingerbread village filled with lots of fun activity.
Gingerbread men and young girls are busy ice-skating and meeting up with their friends. The picture is full of cute and fun detail such as Santa falling stuck head-first in a chimney.
You can use your stitched work as an advent calendar, as all the dates up to Christmas day can be stitched in the lower part. We suggest framing the piece on a cork board for instance, so you can place a pretty pin or a ring and move it every day.
The palette of embroidery thread colors is a beautiful mix of turquoise, red and gingerbread tones. There are pearlescent white highlights featuring the icing on the gingerbread houses. Overdyed threads from the Weeks Dyed Works range are used for certain tones. They can however be substituted with DMC if you wish, although the result will be slightly different. The fabric used for stitching this piece is an overdyed linen with woven filaments that add some glitz to the background.
You can also purchase a chart of each individual house should you not wish to stitch the complete row.
