Join the local chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild, Blue Ribbon ANG, to learn how to embroider chicken scratch. Free, all materials will be provided to make one potholder.

Chicken scratch, also known as depression lace, is an embroidery technique done on gingham. The technique uses the squares of the gingham pattern and a few simple stiches to make a design.
