Easter needlepoint patterns

Easter designs, among them bunnies, ducklings, a lamb, baskets, carrots, daffodils and lilies, and eggs of two kinds.

Some are squares with an egg drawn on them; others are charted in the shape of an egg, in stripes, dots, gingham and bargello. An egg-shaped piece is three inches wide and four tall on 18 mesh. It is finished like any flat ornament, wrapped over board cut to the shape and backed with fabric; the ornament finishing guide walks through each step.
