Christmas Village Embroidery - Santa's cottage


I recently finished stitching this cottage from my Christmas Village pattern set.  
This is actually on pale blue fabric, although the background looks white in my pictures!


Here are the stitch details for this project.  The trees are all done with layers of Lazy Daisy Stitch.  I combined two threads of pale green with one thread of white to give a snowy effect.  The holly leaves are Fishbone Stitch.  The holly berries and the roof lights are French Knots.  


The snow, the snowflakes and the eave accents are all Straight Stitch*.   Everything else is Back Stitch and Stem Stitch.  


I outlined the door and window with Whipped Back Stitch. The white x's on the door are Cross Stitch.



Here are the thread color numbers I used for this project: 



*The Straight Stitch was not a good choice for the eave accents.  They are too long and now that this project is out of the hoop, the long Straight Stitches are too loose and shift out of place when I handle the fabric.  To correct this, I am going to couch them into place.

Christmas Village Embroidery Pattern


Christmas Village is the new embroidery pattern set I have finished and made available in my shop!


There are dozens of Christmas motifs of various sizes included in this set.  



I am currently working on this village scene.  This is a fairly large motif so I am working it in small sections.  
I designed the village scene to fit perfectly in a 10" hoop.  I think it could be a beautiful Christmas display to hang this in a hoop that has been embellished with ribbon. 



This fir bough motif would be a festive addition to a napkin or any table linen



I will post all my color and stitch information as I finish these!
