Ahhhh….the Smell of Gingerbread…

…is coming from my sewing room!  With less than 3 months left till Christmas I thought I had better start a few Christmas projects…like this little wool Gingerbread Man Candle mat…

P1100100This is what I will be stitching at Heritage Quilting today….

P1100097

I didn’t use a pattern…as I just wanted a simple little mat…P1100098

..that will hopefully evolve with each little stitch…into a Gingerbread mat…I’ll keep you posted!!

  Have a Marvelous Monday and Happy Quilting!~P

  15. The gingerbread mat is tooooo cute. I've not made anything with wool but I see so much in blogland I will have to give it a try. I've got wool and nice sharp scissors so there is no excuses. You do inspire me.
