| Unless you have blown the pic way up....doesn't look like gingham to me... But it does look a little like "chicken scratch" |

| Yes, it is way blown up to show the interweaving of the block of 1/4 inch gingham. Nothing like any chicken scratch I've seen. |

| I would just call it "drawn thread embroidery", this blogger calls it "pulled thread embroidery": |

| Thanks Colleen! I found several examples after googling those terms. Quite a unique design and I guess another dying art. Now I'll have to buy one for my collection! |
