My kitchen is slowly being taken over by chicken decor. :)
We were at the neighbors' awhile back and I saw an embroidered chicken picture that I really liked because of the way it was mounted with chicken wire behind it. Hers said something about raising kids is like being pecked to death by a chicken. Hmmm...
Well, I wanted one of my own (sans saying) so I figured I'd better get to stitchin'! I used part of a pattern that I got from Peace Creek Collections a couple of years ago, it is for a tea towel and the name of the pattern is Lilly & Her Chicks. I just used Lilly this time. After stitching, I frayed the edges of the cloth to give it more of a rustic look and mounted the completed embroidery in a frame with a black background and added a piece of old chicken wire. Heaven knows, we sure have a lot of THAT laying around! ;)
I'm linking up with the new Creative Blog Hop at Dolly's Designs. Thanks Dolly!
Here is the dish towel I did a couple of years ago so that you can see the whole pattern. I haven't ever used the towel, I just hang it on the oven door for decoration! I think I'll start using it...

Sew cute. The chicken wire is just the right touch on the first one. Your kitchen must be very welcoming ... :) Pat
Cute towel.
I can't have any towels hanging on my stove and not use them! Or actually any where in my house, unless it's hanging on the wall!
Adorable! I like the addition of the chicken wire too.
Awww, she's adorable
I love embroidering...
so much so that i am still working on a christmas tree skirt from 1985...
;)I like embroidering when someone else does it, and you do GOOD!
Cute design. I do like that chicken wire background!
Cute towel. I like the picture of the chicken mounted on chicken wire. My kitchen is also done in chickens. I may have to add another one.
Oh my gosh. I am totally obsessed with this! I wish I could embroider. Framing it with the chicken wire was a stroke of genius. And the whole pattern is so cute! Ok, I need to learn how to do this asap!
I just had to let you know that I went to the blog where you got the pattern, and signed up via email so I got the pattern for free! My grandma loves to embroider, so I asked her if she could make some towels for me with the pattern and she said yes :)
Very nice! And cute to boot :)
Those are so cute Candy!
Cute! You could sell those on Esty!
I too have several rooster decorations that I've had for years...love them for a nice home in the country!...:)JP
I just love both the tea towel and the framed picture! Using the chicken wire was such a great idea!
The chicken wire is such a perfect touch. I love it!
Oh, that's VERY cute! There is something about chickens that make me laugh--although Patty has told me they are icky in real life. I don't know about that too much.
This is adorable! My kitchen is full of chicken stuff, quite accidentally. One day, when we went to paint, I discovered I collect chickens! These are so sweet!
Love it! Very cute :)
Oh I LOVE these. Chicken in the kitchen yup it is the way to go.
Funny comment about raising kids made me think:) B
I love that chicken pattern. So cute!
Love your chicken stitching!
My kitchen is a mixture of chickens, teapots & cups, and old kitchen gadgets ... a random mix, but all things I enjoy :) .
Blessings,
Catherine
