Chickens Galore

Designed and hooked by Jill Izzard

I made this little mat for a Chicken Project.
Deb and her friends from Woolwright's Rug Hooking Guild, Lancaster, USA, started this project and asked me if Hooked-in-London members would like to join in.
Some have already finished their 'chicken inspired pieces' and others are still working on them....watch this space....
My mat was hooked from old discarded T Shirts and Vests which I then dyed. The loops were then sheared to create a textured effect.
