requested baby star

[heppnerguy]

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, that came out great! lots of tricky cuts!

[Roberta Moreton]

That is an excellent cut!

[barb.j.enders]

Excellent cut.  Try a pizza box for shipping.

Down Right Super job Dick. I can see why you held your breath and said a few prayers. I would have  wanted to use a Pink or Blue Backer as well.

All those letters jammed into this one had me a little on edge.

Thank you. I really enjoy Sue Mey patterns because they are all so nice and usually mixed in with some small challenges. A perfect combination for me.

I had this in mind right after I  mailed it. I hope to be able to remember that should I be cutting another one some day.

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

I have experienced the same. I try to do the best I know how but not  always successful.

Thanks for the tip, certainly worth considering

That’s beautiful, RJ

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

Very nice Dick.

 

[spirithorse]

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

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.
