 Introducing
The Gingerbread Village
Get ready to bring a bit of Norwegian holiday magic into your home with "The Gingerbread Village", inspired by the cozy, spiced wonders of "pepperkake", Norway's traditional Christmas gingerbread cookies!
The collection includes a wall-hanging measuring 31.5" x 44.5", a table runner measuring 41” by 17” and placemats measuring 16" x 12".
The wallhanging and table runner are crafted from 12 unique 6-inch blocks, each featuring its own charming gingerbread house or village scene. You are invited to piece together your own sweet, whimsical village.
As you stitch each block, imagine the warm aromas of ginger and spice filling the air and a charming village coming to life, piece by piece.
From the first block to the final detail, this collection is a labor of love — and a festive addition that captures the spirit of the holiday season.Â
So, gather your fabrics, warm up your embroidery machine, and let’s build a cozy, gingerbread-inspired world that will be cherished for many holidays to come!

"Your designs are beautiful!"
Oh, your designs are beautiful!
When I read your instructions, it's just ABC.
This is what you do, and all I need to do is follow it.
~ Shirley S, fellow MEL from CO
"Easy to do!"
Your designs are so wonderful, and they're easy to do if you just follow the instructions.
It's good that you are an engineer, because then you figure out how it goes together so that other people can do it.
And I think that's a talent, a good talent.
~ Mailyn W, fellow MEL from AR
"Fun and amazing!"
I think Sarah's designs are just fun and amazing.
When I get everything stitched out, it's like I'm holding it up and I go, wow, did I really do that?
~ Carol C, fellow MEL from TX
Meet Your Designer
Dr. Sarah Vedeler
Since I was a young girl, I loved sewing.
That love transformed into a hobby, a passion, and finally, a career.
Over 2 decades ago, I left corporate America...
To design my own quilts and share those designs (as well as classes on how to use them) with quilters all over the world.
I discovered my super-power and purpose:
To ignite the fire of creativity in the hearts and minds of people who are hungry to experience the transformative process of creating something beautiful themselves.
It's been incredible to watch people of all skill-levels and walks of life grow their skillset and their confidence using my designs.
In beautiful nerdy fashion, I mash up my PhD in Theoretical Computer Science and career as a Software Engineer with a love of color and design.Â
The result?
Machine embroidery applique and quilting in the hoop designs which allow YOU to create spectacular quilts and other projects you never thought were possible...
Until now.
Creating magic is just a stitch away.
Our Stitch Something Awesome Guarantee!
Create something amazing and don't forget the share the results with us! We are always on hand to help and dedicated to making sure you experience the joy of creating craftwork that you can't wait to show off.
