CHECK this out. Amazing embroidery, go to photos 55-60. this was sent to me through Mary Corbet’s Needle ‘N Thread.

wow this is amazing talk about a steady hand

thanks that was very interesting
looks like some did a lot of work

I never thought of gluing an embroidery design to a blown out egg for an Easter Tree. It will boggle peoples minds like sewing on toilet paper. LOL

does anyone know how the eggs were done? just curious. betty

OMG!!! I had a closer look and I think these eggs must be plastic. They are beautiful whatever way they were done. Some clever people out there.

I think I would be making a whole lot of scrambled eggs. I can't even imagine how anyone goes about doing this.

Guess they would have to do something with the inside..Wonder how many were broken in the process....

Those eggs are just stunning. Gave a closer look and they must have punched/drilled the holes very carefully and then used ribbon embroidery thread. Don't know if I would have the patience to delicately hand craft these treasures.

Oh those are beautiful.

This is an interesting. Not only the eggs but some beautiful Lace. Wish my lace was as good as this. Lyn

Those are some nice looking eggs

Gorgeous! Looks like a lot of work.

Dear Helen,

They are really beautiful. How painstakingly time consuming to do all that and then to put them on the eggs. Very talented people out there! Love Chris

Chris, this is embroidered ON the egg, not put on later.Helen

Yes, I knew that Helen it's just the way my sentence turned out. I can see they are sewn into the egg! I just can't fathom how they get a needle in there - how do they get it back out? Love Chris

by pennifold 05 Apr 2011

Now I know - the pattern is repeated in exactly the same place on the other side of the egg. Therefore when you put the needle in one side you look for the corresponding hole on the opposite side. Ingenious!!!!!

Chris I did not look that far. It is too much for my brain to take in at the moment. Dont think I have the patience to do such intricate work.Helen
