It hasn’t been a very productive week for me creatively. Somehow getting back into the work/school routine has left little time or energy for creating.
But have had a little time to work on my Chicken Scratch project –
Hope to be back on the weekend with the finished item. I love how the bright aqua gingham gives it a more modern look.
You can check out another Chicken Scratch Project that I made here, and my Grandmother’s apron here. This was my first introduction to embroidery as a child – the gingham squares make it easy to achieve nice even stitches. I made a tablecloth using this technique when I was in primary school – I wish I had kept it.

I am interested in learning chicken scratch. Is there a book I can purchase with full instructions or can you tell me how.
Thank you for any information.
