Chicken Scratch Embroidery

Virtual Crafting with Creativebug

Blair Stocker and Creativebug lead a live workshop on Chicken Scratch embroidery. This vintage technique is easy to learn and customize and is always stitched on gingham check.

In this beginner-friendly class, Blair Stocker will show you how to transform a simple piece of gingham fabric into a charming, hand-embroidered bandana using classic chicken scratch stitching. Learn her favorite tips for choosing colors, placement of the motif, and ways to change up and vary the pattern. 

Blair Stocker is a modern quilter, author, and instructor based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has a degree in Apparel Design and Fashion Merchandising from The University of North Carolina and spent over a decade in the apparel and fabric design industries for Marithé and François Girbaud, Nautica, and Unionbay. She still loves a seasonal runway show but now translates that inspiration into quilts instead of clothing. Blair’s design work features upcycled fabrics that are thoughtfully juxtaposed with color combinations that feel unexpected or clashing. Blair’s brand, Wise Craft Handmade, features books, quilt patterns, online workshops, and an online membership program. Find her online at wisecrafthandmade.com.
