Easter is just days away. This two-layer Easter cross is ~ ten inches tall and seven inches wide and features a bouquet of Easter flowers.

This pattern is not too challenging. It would be a good pattern for someone who has been scrolling for only a short time. The lettering is going to be the toughest part of the pattern. Take your time and try to keep the letter crisp and straight.

Here is a strategy for keeping the lettering crisp. In the diagram, the black dot is the entry hole. Start the blade there and cut into the corner of the E. (Red line #1). Back the blade into the kerf just enough to cut into the waste area (Red line #2). When you reach the pattern line cut straight into the corner (Red line #3).

This is a basic technique for getting sharp inside corners. This can be easier for new scrollers than trying to make a tight turn.

If you want to make a gift for someone at church or a family member this project can easily be cut in one sitting. You do not need expensive wood for this cut. Even Baltic Birch plywood would be a good choice.
