Yellow, Yellow ...

It wouldn't be the end of a holiday season if I didn't have a last-minute finish. Tomorrow is Pentecost, so today I blog about my needlepoint Easter egg:

The pattern is Elegant Egg by Julie Sackett. I love the Watercolours thread I used -- Carnival -- and I had fun picking matching threads. I finished it by sewing it to yellow ultrasuede, and disguising the inevitable lumpiness with the palestrina stitch along the seam. It's a great stitch for neatening things up.
