Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern features an elaborate jeweled egg mounted on an ornamental pedestal, rendered in warm browns, golds, and cream tones. The intricate surface details and dimensional shading create a richly detailed appearance that celebrates the opulence of imperial Russian artistry. The composition balances the prominent egg form against the decorative base, making this an engaging focal point for framed needlework.
Stitchers of intermediate skill will appreciate the 30 DMC thread color palette, which provides excellent opportunities to practice shading and color blending techniques. The soft, warm metallic mood suits both traditional and eclectic home décor, while the historical subject matter appeals to those drawn to Russian heritage and fine craftsmanship. This pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and can be completed in phases. Whether displayed as standalone wall art, incorporated into a decorative box lid, or presented as a gift to collectors of imperial history, this Fabergé egg needlework brings timeless elegance to any space.
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.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
