Chicken Scratch embroidery
This little sweetheart is my great niece Hilary, (my niece Rohanna's daughter, and my sister's grand daughter). |
You'll see another little bit of chicken scratch on her top. It's the same little French smock pattern that I bought from ChocolatineStudio on Etsy. Of course you can use any fabric for the smock, but gingham is the one for chicken scratch. I found that the gingham squares don't always run straight, so before I cut out the pattern, I match up the squares so that when I embroider, it doesn't go downhill! |

CQJP2013
I signed up for CQJP2013 but I didn't have any clue of what I was going to do for 12 blocks. In my head I went from one crazy thing to another and finally decided on a project that would have lots of beading and some stumpwork.
The idea is, as I work from left to right, that it will be a landscape of changing seasons.
This is January's block before being attached to February. The trees are not sewn on yet, I'll do that after March and April's blocks are added. |
And this is February's block. |

Technically challenged......
Monday! my sister cries, We'll miss Downton Abbey! |
And to work the zapper I need my Ott Light and a magnifier and ... maybe a glass or two! |
