Chart: Boiled egg, Cross Stitch Creation

Wood, porcelain, pewter or silver, plain or fanciful, egg cups have spanned eras, constantly reinventing themselves. This charming collection brings together a series of mismatched models that bear witness to all the creativity and elegance of table art.

Classic, rustic, refined or full of humor, they form an original picture that will appeal to lovers of antique objects and kitchen décor.

Conceived by Monique Bonin, this creation honors these everyday accessories, often forgotten yet laden with memories. Each egg cup has its own personality, evoking family breakfasts, country tables or precious sets carefully preserved in old sideboards. A charming composition that subtly combines nostalgia and elegance.

The design was embroidered on a Belfast Zweigart canvas, twine color, 12 threads/cm, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This canvas, with its natural shades, particularly highlights the delicate details of the various egg cups and reinforces the authentic spirit of the work.

This design can also be made on a DMC linen canvas, 11 threads/cm, embroidered over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, or on an Aida canvas, 5.5 stitches/cm, to obtain slightly more generous dimensions while facilitating the embroidery work.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.

Design size: 179 stitches wide × 178 stitches high.
On 12 threads/cm linen embroidered over 2 threads: approx. 29.8 × 29.7 cm.
On 11 threads/cm linen or 5.5 stitches/cm Aida fabric: approx. 32.5 × 32.4 cm.

Both refined, original and full of nostalgia, this work will bring to your home a touch of authentic charm inspired by the finest tableware.
