I started this last week and it's been pretty fun. I carry it around and can work on it during my lunch hour at work. It's one color of thread and I don't need to look at a pattern. I've finished one edge and have made progress on the first stitch along the long sides.

Pretty, pretty ! Here, we use to call it "Swiss embroidery"... Never tried my hands on this, (yet :D ) LOVE some portable project going anywhere with me.
In stitches,

I made a cushion cover and had just as much fun as you are having. It is fascinating to see how the checked fabric change into lace!
No I have never done this but I do like looking at yours. Maybe when I retire I can try out some of this lovely handwork that you do.
Very effective Pamela - looking lovely. xx
I haver never done chicken scratch. Looks wonderful.
What a fascinating work!
I have seen posts about chicken scratch stitching, but I admit I never took a close look until today. It's amazing to see the transformation from plain to wonderful.

This looks pretty Pamela. I bought some gingham fabric weeks ago to try some chicken scratch but then found a chicken scratch embroidered tablecloth at a local charity shop which needs repairing, so I´m having fun with this stitching.
I havent ever done cross stitch, yours looks wonderful.
I have never tried to stitch Swiss Embroidery as it's called here, too. But I have seen project with this pattern on several blogs and the result always looks great - like yours.
I haven't heard of or tried chicken scratch before, but it looks like fun!
