If Lexxie visits my site... which I don't think she does ...she may remember this piece... look Lexxie! I'm using it. It is shiny and she loves shiny ... well, actually ...who doesn't? ..hahhaha... I think Magpie is the middle name of most women.
I did the same thing I did when I was making the pin cushions. Seeing as I just can't visualize things finished without a frame to view it in....I viewed it with my newly made egg template. Perfect. Now, I can work away on it ...inside stitched lines...but, always with my viewer nearby. Grab. Place. View.
Love it....
I decided to make several ... in the same style as my cushions.
Here is the first one so far.

Lovely.
V, this is so sweet. I love French knots. The lace in the center looks handmade.
Egg-shaped pincushions perhaps? (btw - I have to tell you that I smile every single time I see your header photo)
I think your stitching is sooo beautiful Vee. I never could that. I'm al thumbs when it comes to sewing by hand.
Take care Dearest,

I stole your frame idea for my crazy quilting block. As I said before...brilliant idea:)
I found you frame idea over on Mary Ann's blog, and came over to see. These eggs are gorgeous and I like how the aperture lets you focus on the design. I love how you piece your lace together! Inspired to try this on a doll's bodice.
