FFO: Gingerbread House

 Jingle Ball 2024: Gingerbread House from Tiny Modernist

The class for the 3D Gingerbread House at the Jingle Ball was great.  I've always wanted to try a 3D constructed project.  Now I plan to do more!

Fabric: 32 ct. linen, Vintage Country Mocha

Floss:  DMC floss

Stitches are wraooed around sticky board, then stitched together on the corners  Supposed to be whip or ladder  stitch on corners but I decided to make it lattice looking.  I used batting for the roof as I didn't have any felt.  The inside is stuffed with polyfill, but I'm going to put something (rice or poly pellets) in the bottom to weight it down a litte.
