Poules drôles G

The letter G curves round behind the bird, and the hen in front of it has a loose scribble stitched over the breast. The scribble catches the light differently to the fill underneath, so the body has more texture than the colour count suggests.

This one suits kitchen linen, an apron, an egg basket liner or the front of a tote. The open curve of the letter gives you somewhere to tuck a name or a date if you want to build on it.

The design is 61.70mm wide by 86.40mm high, so it sits upright in a 4 inch hoop with room at the sides. Nine colour stops across 11,800 stitches, with one thread coming up three times, so wind a spare bobbin. Tearaway on a stable woven, cutaway on a knit.
