Popular Post heppnerguy Posted May 19, 2022 Popular Post Posted May 19, 2022 This was a request from my cousin for her new granddaughter. I did not think I would be able to get all the name letters she wanted on this pattern but she would not take no for answer. I had no recourse's but to give it a try and hope I would be able to get it all in place and be able to cut it all. As you can see, I was forced to not leave any gap between a couple of the letters so I was not sure I would not have a breakout as a result. I held my breath, said a prayer and BINGO, I was able to get it all done. I would have preferred a blue or pink background for a baby cross, depending on the sex of the new born, but my cousin wanted it to be black, so I complied with my customer and made it as demanded. I am ok with this pattern, except I find it rather difficult to find a package to mail it in because it is so broad. Dick heppnerguy goldfish, John B, munzieb and 12 others 15 Quote

I didn't think the pattern was designed for that many characters. I still do not. Never the less, I was able to get what the customer insisted on, in the project Dick heppnerguy Quote

FrankEV Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) A large pizza box works great for shipping that type of project. Get a clean from your local pizza place for next to nothing. Btw...nice work Edited May 21, 2022 by FrankEV heppnerguy 1 Quote

spirithorse Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Great work! When you mentioned the preference of a black backer instead of blue or pink, I immediately agreed with you but, when I see the finished cut, the backer just sort of blends into the background and becomes an after-thought. You did a fantastic job. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
wombatie Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 You did an amazing job Dick. I would be inclined to worry about it breaking in the post, so make sure it is packaged securely. Marg Quote
