Egypt evokes thoughts of mystery and great treasure. I've stitched these designs in gold metallic thread, but they will look good with any bright color or variegated thread. There is a square outline in a separate color stop that stitches first so you can decide whether to use it. I used it for my pillow so I would have a guide to stitch the squares together. In addition to being used with other Egyptian designs for wall hangings or quilts, they are appropriate for clothing, totes, table linens or scarves.
