The Best of Both Worlds

Any Trekkers out there?



Please visit Fandom in Stitches today to download the free paperpieced patterns for 'NCC-1701-D' and 'The Borg'.

These are the second and third blocks I've designed. The Borg block is incredibly easy to piece and the Enterprise is actually quite do-able despite the teeny tiny pieces.

And, naturally, I'm working on embroidery to embellish these a bit. I will share updated patterns as soon as I can get the stitching done!

Thanks to instant streaming on Netflix my infatuation with ST:TNG has been rekindled. I've been spending extra quality time on my treadmill, reabsorbed in my first fandom. I had forgotten how much I love TNG, especially the technical stuff. Ships and space stations? Tricorders and transporters? Yes, please!

Enjoy the patterns, and if you piece them, please do share on the FiS Flickr Group!

  1. These are pretty awesome. The enterprise especially looks fantastic, and I love the print you used for the planet.

    1. Thank you! That planet fabric seems to be in every project I do...here I used the wrong side of it 'cause I liked it better. :)

  2. awesome. I have been thinking about watching the ST:TNG from the beginning. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. I especially remember seeing how "cool" it was on our new colored tv (before that it was just a regular black and white one). I never saw all of the episodes though.

    1. Ooooh, it's definitely one that's worth watching from the beginning. Even though it's over 20 years old, it's still excellent, relevant scifi. A true classic!
