TA-DA! One needlelace egg completed!
In truth, I should have stitched a buttonhole cordonnette all around the outside but I don't really like those big bulky edges. I should have done it anyway.
Instead, I took it off the background (not my best idea) so that I could crochet around it instead. It does have a nice scalloped frame now but I should have done the buttonhole in black and THEN cut it from the backing and crocheted the scallop to the buttonholing.
Next time.
I'm quite happy with the stitching though, or at least the tension, especially with the top two colors. I needed to break up the bottom a bit and I think that threw off the consistency there, but it's still pretty. I have no idea what to do with it!
No embroidery today. I just didn't get to it but I think I needed a break from it anyway. Those last stitchings are not my best work.
Well, another fun weekend put away. Looking for a wonderful week ahead!
Merry Christmas!
