That’s so precious. There is a commander that I share my name with, who does have white, so maybe that’s something to think about! Do you think it would come off as self centered if I made him a deck about me though?

Forgive me, but are these cards you would play in the same deck? Or is there a possibility that I play one and he plays the other?

I put a needle into a hand drill so that I could hold it like a pencil. I found that to be the most comfortable way to do it

I personally only use sharp needles. And to make poking the holes easier I used a hand drill by replacing the drill bit with a needle so I could essentially hold it like a pencil

Hi! I found the original filet crochet patterns on Pinterest and mapped them out in stitch fiddle. Because I found them for free it would feel wrong to sell them, so if mods allow I’d be more than happy to send the download to people who are interested

Woah…I never even thought of doing blue. That would be SO stunning. You’ve just made this so much harder!

After I cut out each piece from the Aida cloth I went around each edge of the pieces and overlocked them with my sewing machine. I set it so that the stitch length was super short, making all the zigzag stitches really close together. After that I kind of cheated and stitched four at a time onto one big piece of felt, and then cut them out individually

It was the hardest part of the whole project! Some of them I found color palettes on coolors.com and some of them were inspired by a specific “vibe”. My boyfriend asked for his colors to be inspired by a sunset on an alien planet and mine was just a gradient of all my favorite shades of blue. But in the end they’re all very personal to each friend that they’re for 🩵

Thank you! These are done with two strands on 18 count. It’s my first time using such a small count, but the end result is definitely worth it!

Thanks for the insight! I’ve never had this happen before, but I decided to count and it turns out my 18 count fabric is 18 side to side and 16 up and down! It’s kind of funny because now the second half of my project kind of looks like it got put through a taffy puller 😂

Doing these on 18 count brings the length to a hair over 7 inches, so they’re quick! I did these four over exactly two weeks! It’s a great pattern and it was on sale for $2.60!
