The Gingerbread's Cottage by The Proper Stitcher

It is not a secret that my family loves to decorate the entire house for Christmas. No room in the house is spared, including the kitchen. We spend so much time in the kitchen and have enjoyed collecting decorations for this space. I wanted to design a collection for the heart of the home. Part 1 of 2 of this series is “The Gingerbread’s Cottage” that features Mr. and Mrs. Gingerbread and their sweet gingerbread cottage. All of the motifs in this design are frosted sugar cookies. I love how the star cookies are hanging from the top border. The floss used in this design seem to have a frosted reflection, just like icing on a cookie.

This design can be finished as a drum, as a long pillow, or mounted on your favorite finishing board.
