Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch design captures a jewel-toned Faberge egg with warm golden-bronze accents and soft highlight details. The ornate egg features a central book motif in relief, set atop a decorative pedestal base, rendered in rich mauves, golds, and cream tones that evoke the opulence of Imperial Russian craftsmanship. With 100×100 stitches and 29 DMC thread colors, the pattern offers intermediate stitchers a rewarding project that balances intricate shading with manageable scope. The design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and produces a striking piece ideal for framing or displaying as a collectible needlework tribute to Faberge artistry.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
