witha'K'quilting Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 If you don't know what it is...you must not do it. It isn't a dance. It is handwork. I have 8 plus kits which have the patterns, fabric and embroidery floss. If interested, I will mail them to you...just pay the shipping. I even have 2 round hoops. I can fit everything in a flat rate envelope for $5 to the US. Any takers? Sorry, I am not going to post pictures, it isn't worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I don't do it now but there was a time I did several very large pieces. It turns out well. I think I used white floss on blue 1/4 gingam. that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Folks used to decorate the bottom of their dresses or aprons with Chicken scratch. I have seen it on the bottom of kitchen curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelleywa Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I didn't know what chicken scratch was until I saw the picture, but I used to do this as a child in the UK but it was called Australian cross stitch then! Funny that now I live in Australia, I've never seen it done here!! Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
