Chicken Scratch Quilt??
#1
I am finally able to really look through my mom's sewing things - Has anyone ever done a Chicken Scratch quilt - It looks like stars done on the dark squares of gingham.
Kind of different
Reason I am asking is that Fabric.com has gingham on sale today

Chicken scratch is an embrodiery technique, it can be used on quilts or pillows.
I found you a site with free patterns.

There are a couple of posts about chickenscratch....just go to the search menu. Some members here have posted some really beautiful examples...I think WillieMae was one in particular.
Don't forget to post pics if you decide to go ahead with it.

I haven't done any for a long time ... but I do remember that the gingham needs to be squares no rectangles - this means even thread count horizontal and vertical! Otherwise you get a very wonky design. It was easy to do though!
