It's May the 4th, and that means new Star Wars patterns! I always love making and sharing patterns and projects from a galaxy far, far away, and this year I'm adding some embroidery and cross stitch designs that are a little less common.
We're starting out with Andor. I really enjoyed this series on Disney+. It's not always fast-paced, but I love learning about characters, which this show had a lot of. I also adored the droid B2EMO. He's an introvert and has some of the cutest things to say! Which is how I came to make my cross stitch pattern with one of his quotes...it's so relatable for me!
I don't think of myself as an anti-social person at all. Some social interactions, however, wear me down. I have literally said on many occasions that I need to recharge at home. This droid gets me! It's also super cute.
It needed to be simplified a bit for cross stitch at this size, and because of his lens/eyes, I opted not to add extra "Wild Olive" eyes. Instead he gets a smile. B2EMO doesn't seem like one to smile too often, but when Andor arrives home, I think that's when the happy emotions come out!
Of course, if you just want the droid without the quote, you can stitch him alone and make a little pin or even an ornament!
Because this is a droid, I thought it would be fun to put the finished stitching in one of my antique metal hoops. The rims and spring tension give it a droid feeling, don't you agree?
I didn't want to leave embroidery out of the picture this year, so I have a simple text pattern. Now, you may be wondering if this is even Star Wars, but hear me out.
My family says this line of dialogue so often that I legitimately forgot that it isn't from a Star Wars film. It's actually a quote from the Star Wars episode of Family Guy. Now, I don't watch that show, but my brother had me at least watch that particular episode. And there are just so many funny moments!
When the characters go into the Mos Eisley Cantina, the band finishes playing their iconic song, and the band leader asks if there are any requests. Someone yells out "play that same song!" and so they do.
My family now calls out this request anytime we hear the song. And that includes when my sister and I went to the Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland! (Okay, so I didn't exactly yell it, but I did make sure to say it!). Anyway, it was time that this iconic (at least for Johansons and Family Guy fans) became a pattern.
Whether you're cross stitching or embroidering, May the 4th be with you!
