Wet and wintry weekends are perfect for sewing! I put the finishing touches to my Chicken Scratch project today by stitching the embroidered panel onto a piece of waffle weave cotton to make a towel. I am not sure if I will use it as a tea towel/dish cloth or a hand towel. I added some red ricrac to go with the retro vibe.
Love it!
I used Micheal Miller Gypsy Bandana in Aqua Gingham for the Chicken Scratch Panel.
Oh such beautiful work, gorgeous gorgeous, love Posie
ohhh Lisa this is beautiful,well done
That is wonderful, love the colour & fabric choices. Every time I see chicken scratch I think that is so what I love, I have to try it – one day! Tracee xx

I am so in love with this project! It is the first chicken scratch project I’ve ever seen that I want to make myself. I would really love a tutorial! 🙂

Outstanding towel. Who wouldn’t love this pretty number?!! The ric rac and flower stitches are so darling.

Wonderful, I would want to use just hang it on a hook in the kitchen, but nobody could use it!! Happy Weekend. Kx
Oh, it’s stunning – great job. Like the commenter before me, I don’t know if I could bring myself to use it!
Lovely work.
