Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross-stitch design captures the ornate elegance of a Fabergé egg rendered in rich crimson and deep burgundy tones accented with antique gold. The oval composition showcases intricate beaded swags and decorative flourishes across the egg's surface, complemented by a delicate pedestal base that grounds the piece. At 110 x 110 stitches, the pattern provides a satisfying challenge for needleworkers ready to move beyond beginner projects.
The warm jewel-toned palette—dominated by reds and burgundies with cream and tan highlights—creates a sophisticated vintage aesthetic perfect for framing above a mantelpiece or displaying in a shadow box. The egg's detailed relief work translates beautifully into cross-stitch, with 25 DMC thread colors working together to suggest dimensional beading and dimensional relief.
Crafted on Aida fabric with supplied DMC thread colors, this Fabergé egg needlework makes an exceptional heirloom gift for collectors or history enthusiasts. The imperial elegance of the design lends itself to holiday displays or luxury home décor schemes, while the intermediate skill level ensures an engaging stitching experience without overwhelming complexity. A printable PDF chart makes starting this ornamental piece straightforward and convenient.
