Yum! What a delightful Accessory for your Gingerbread Village, including the Tree Etui, the Stitching House, Church, Candy Cane Cottage, Bakery, Haunted House, Needlework Shop, Quilt Shop, and Retreat Cottage. This three-dimensional Ginger-bread Tree can add some atmosphere and foliage to your Gingerbread Village. Stitch a few with decorations to place near your favorite buildings, AND add a few without decorations, for a whole forest of little trees you can place around your scene. You will be stitching with yummy silk flosses, Perle Cottons, sparkling beads and delicious looking ‘candy’ buttons and can use your own green linen. Each tree can have it's own colour of green! This little tree was not lined, which makes finishing easier and faster, but you can always line it inside, or add a bottom to finish it off nicely. Finishing instructions and colour photos are included at the end of this leaflet. This year, place all your finished Gingerbread buildings on your mantle for the Holidays and add a few trees to make it look more realistic. 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
