I filled in the flower centers with french knots and then added some decorative french knots in the minty green floss:
My next Easter stitching is this bigger motif. I always trace the pattern onto my fabric and I keep another copy of the pattern to look at while I trace. I got everything all set up, started tracing and realized I was having such a hard time seeing the faint lines my transfer pen was leaving :( You can hardly even see them in this picture:
I guess the "ink" in this poor pen has been all used up - I switched to a new pen and this looks sooo much better!
So easy to see! I can't wait to get started on this one. Any color suggestions? I appreciate any ideas!
Speaking of color, for the Easter egg, here is a list of the floss colors I used:

Lovely! Your designs always look so clean and fresh.
Kim, I am fascinated about how you create your original design do you use something like Coreldraw? And do you use a light box for tracing? I am thinking about buying one after years of using the cheaper methods?
Hi Simone! :) Thank you!!!
Emi - Grazie! Ho apprezzato cuciture questo :)
Jules - Thank you! Yes I do use CorelDraw! I love it, it is a fantastic program. I have occasionally used a light box -it works well - but the light box I have is so tiny it is frustrating to use.
Kim, that is so sweet! The little flowers are just the right touch!
The egg looks eggscelent! Haha! Sorry, I couldn't resist a little pun. Seriously, though, your finished egg looks very beautiful!
I get so bummed when my pen runs out of ink. I just stopped using it an starting using pencil... eek! I should go buy more transfer pens.
The Easter piece looks like it's going to look super cute stitched. I always think Easter things look good in pastels. I know that isn't groundbreaking... but I honestly think if you used a similar color palette as the egg, it would look just as good!
Angela - Thank you!
Kristen - Lol! Thank you :) I think anything Easter looks good in pastels too so I think I will use the same basic palette as this egg.
I love this Easter Egg!! :)) Have a nice week!
I always knew that i would look amazing once completed. :)
