Just learned what chicken scratch was about year ago. Been planning on trying some but have not gotton around to it. Love the work, beautiful pillow. Maybe that will encourage me to get around to trying it.

What a great idea. My grandmother use to do this on aprons!
|
It really is pretty!
|
That is so nice. I can't believe chicken scratch is coming back after all these years.
|
I don't think that I could put pins in it either.

Every now and then you get something really special in the swaps on this board, this is definitely one of them. Mawluv sent this pincushion to me on the pincushion swap.
Look at the trim even it is hand sewn. I've never seen " chicken scratch" before. Something tells me this is a Prime example of this technique. Thank you so much Mawluv! It's beautiful, I'm not so sure I will fill it with pins. |
Oooo my mother in law has some in unfinished projects! My going to nab them kn the next visit and make all the daughters/granddaughters pin cushions for Christmas! I'd love to get my hands on patterns.
