I'm with JJean. This is so pretty. Thank you

Thank You, Edie, you are so kind. Yvonne has the site posted, check it out and it will show you patterns and how to do it. Good Luck..

I found some instructions
http://www.craftown.com/instruction/chicken.htm

I did some small projects years ago and my Grams did some, but not recently.

Looks neat.

Happy, I don't think you are crazy, try one and see how it looks and go from there. I can't believe you got a top for $10.00 what a bargain.

I haven't done this since I was a kid! It was such a good way to teach sewing/cross stitch to a group of 7/8 year old brownie/girl scouts. Of course, our projects certainly weren't as beautiful as your work. I guess I have another thing to put on my "wish list". Thanks for sharing and reminding me of long ago memories.

I remember my grandmother didn't care for my plain clothes. She did the corners on my collars with a small swatch of this appliqued and made it look lacey. SO pretty.

Blessings,
Ruth

Gosh, its been years since I have thought about Chicken Scratch. Your quilt is going to be beautiful! Somewhere I have a blue apron with Chicken Scratch embroidery around the bottom. Your quilt makes me want to find that apron . Thank you for sharing and bringing good memories back to me.

Great Quilt, love the red and white. What is chicken scratch?:?????

Friendly..Chicken Scratch is taking gingham material and # 10 crochet thread and making blocks that comes out looking like lace. If you go to the website pegasusor.com/chicken.htm it will show you how to do it. Sorry I don't know how to put up the website so you can click on it. If you read all the responds one lady posted it. Thank you for the kind words.
