#163"Gingerbread
Quilt Shop"... Part eight
of the Gingerbread Christmas Village Series!
A
delicious Gingerbread Quilt Shop is the eighth addition to
Thea's Gingerbread Village. Added to the Tree Etui, the
Stitching House, Church, Candy Cane Cottage, Bakery, Haunted
House and Needlework Shop, this year’s Gingerbread building is
densely stitched on Gingerbread colored linen and is inspired by
all manner of quilting! The shop has a small entrance foyer,
with the Quilt Shop name above the door, and a metal sewing
machine sewn on its tiny roof. The front shows two friends
quilting in the top floor window, while a little Christmas tree
sparkles merrily behind them. There are few windows, but each of
the walls are covered with quilts and quilt motifs. Each side is
decorated completely differently from the other side. This gives
an impression when assembled,
of being surrounded by all different quilts! You will be
stitching with yummy silk flosses, Perle Cottons, sparkling
beads and delicious looking ‘candy’ buttons. This delicious and
fragrant Gingerbread Quilt Shop is dripping with icing, and lots
of decorative ‘candies’ to welcome the hungry visitor. This
building was not lined, which makes finishing easier and faster.
Excellent finishing instructions and colour photos are included
at the end of this leaflet to help you assemble yours! This
year, place all eight pieces on your mantle for the Holidays! Or
place them on your dining room table or hall table to give you
some extra Christmas cheer as you stitch your last minute
ornaments. Look for more Gingerbread Village additions in future
years! Sending all of you a delicious and Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year from my house to yours! –Thea

(Note:
Use Gingerbread colour Cashel for both roofs as we have done, or
use your imagination and choose another colour linen, as long as
it's the same count. Perhaps a red or dark blue colour would
look nice. Even a black linen would look smashing on this
slanted roof, as well as the small roof over he vestibule. Have
fun choosing!

Sorting The Threads in your Accessory Pack: Remember to
sort in daylight near a window, not under artificial light
indoors, as the colours change with the colour of the lightbulbs
we use. Each floss has a different number of strands in each
thread length. This helps you differentiate the different
colours in your pack. Needlepoint Inc. silk floss has 8 strands
per length The Kreinik Mori has 6 strands per length The
Gloriana Overdyed Silk has 12 thin strands per length.
FYI:some
colours have been divided into two lengths. This can happen if a
colour requires partial yardage. ie. Our kitmaker might include
one 1 yard length and one 0.5 yard length, so don't be surprised
if one colour has more than one length of thread. We hope this
extra information will help you sort your threads more easily!
