Crazy Chicken Lady Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

A lady from Texas ordered it last month then sent me a note three days later with a photo of her denim apron, the 5 inch sitting right in the centre of the chest bib. She raises about forty hens and the message just said she stitched it as her "entire personality" piece. Thats kind of what the design is for.

Its three stacked words in big bold satin fills. "Crazy" sits across the top in a warm golden yellow, "Chicken" lands in the middle in a terracotta burnt orange, and "Lady" at the bottom pops in bright grass green with little decorative splash marks on either side. A small rust-brown hen stands perched up in the top-right corner, stitched in tight directional fills so her feathers and comb actually read as textured, not just a blob. The whole thing reads loud and cheerful from across a room. Stitch count sits around 13,000 on the mid sizes, so its not a quick run but its definately not slow either.

Use a cutaway stabiliser on any knit or fleece and youll get a clean flat result. On denim or canvas twill you can go with a tearaway and still get sharp satin edges. The lettering uses an underlay pass already baked in, so dont add extra manually or you risk puckering on lighter cotton fabrics. Hoop nice and tight. Centre it on whatever youre putting it on before you commit.

Pop the 3.5 inch on a cream linen tea towel for a kitchen gift. The larger 7.5 inch version fills a canvas tote front brilliantly. Ive had people stitch it on fleece blankets, denim shirts, stadium cushions, you name it. Avoid white or very pale fabrics if you want the golden yellow to read properly as it can look washed out without a light-coloured topping run.

Let me know if the registration slips a touch.
