Chicken Scratch
This project was inspired by Michelle Mermaid from a finished piece I saw on her page. My daughter-in-law makes purses. I'm hoping that she will use it as a panel in a purse.

It is usually worked on a gingham check in order to have a lacy look. It was traditionally done on aprons. If you go to the photos page and type in chicken scratch into the search word box at the top, you will see a lot of examples of it. You may be right about the threads getting caught if the pattern is put onto a purse. Darn, I thought it was a good idea.
