Hi all! The other day I asked if anyone knew where I could find a dice design, as we just learned the game of Farkle. Thanks to powagrl for a reminder to look in my old files. I didn’t find the one she was speaking of, however I did find a 2 dice design. I edited and tumbled them, until I was pleased and the added the name of the game. I also had to resize the design quite a lot, before inserting it into my in the hoop bag, but I think it still stitched well, don’t you? Unfortunately I saved no info about the design, so I can’t give credit where credit is due. I tried two on 100% quilting cotton and two on new denim. The denim was hard to poke the corners out so I steamed to soften and this is the best I could do. Thanks powagrl making me play ‘the memory game’-lol

Thank you and you are so right about denim but I still love it!

Yes, very easy once you learn how to count your points. And I think this would make excellent stocking stuffers or extra little unexpected gifts for Christmas. The dice are inexpensive and you can make the bag. All you need is paper and pencil to keep score. How easy is that? Now, what are you waiting for!

I think we are hooked on the game- lol
I was keeping dice in an empty medicine bottle, but our little Gus likes to walk around shaking it up so much it drives you crazy after awhile. I thought a bag would be quieter and it is.

It’s fun and I must warn if your hubby likes it, you may not get to sew as much. He will want you to play-lol
I finally found something he might play when it’s just the two of us during power outages ( hurricanes, ice storms). When I would suggest rummy or card game he didn’t want to play just us two, but right now he likes Farkle.

Google Farkle game, believe to be named after inventor. My sister calls it Sparkle, she says it’s sounds better-lol
My hubby always liked to play dominoes and monopoly, which I didn’t because it goes on forever. I have things to do-lol

Thank you V!

Yes, Google. You may find you like the game too. Thank you

Thank you for the info so I can add it to my design. I know I've been machine embroidering for about 16-17 years.

18 years here, and many of the earlier designs are beautiful, even though digitized with previous software with fewer tools to make it easier to do. I keep my favored format in folders by designer, in "Designs" and all the supporting documents by designer in a separate folder "Support" so I always know the copyright usage allowed for any particular design. I keep a spreadsheet which has proven invaluable for recording websites and tracking changes in ownership--I am over a quarter million designs of purchased/freebies, but I am unsuccessful in telling myself enough!

lol-and I thought I was bad to collect so many!-lol
I did go back and find her original dice design and re-downloaded because I deleted by accident the original design when I resized it. You never know when one might need the bigger size. Thanks again

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

Yes, we are getting cooler nights. It does help one sleep better when not so hot, but you know me, not too cold either-lol Thanks about the bags and yes you're right about the game. Gus didn't mind, he got the TV to himself-lol

You probably do, as it was a free design, almost 4 inches. I reduced it to 1.5 and that's a lot, but it didn't distort. I really am glad Cutie powagrl suggested I may have a dice in my old designs. I don't often look at those. Thanks!

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

I read the Farkle, was the last name of the guy, that invented the game w-a-y back when. I was curious too about the name. Thanks

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

Thank you Nan, a bag for each of our families to store their dice in.

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

When our friends told us about it on the phone, I googled it, even though they said they'd teach us when they came. My family loves games and so does our Spain girl, so every time they come we end up playing some kind of game, before they leave. Thanks about the bags.

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

I didn't even remember saving this design, it's been so long, so you are right. I saw some earlier designs I really need to delete, not so good but I saved everything when I first started . Thanks for looking.

by asterixsew 17 Oct 2022

toogie I think that all free designs are downloaded when we start machine embroidery. I have been deleting some of mine recently

by toogie 17 Oct 2022

Thanks M, I hadn't heard of the game either until our house guest that just came told us about it. I thought it might be hard to catch on but even Nora at 9 years old played. I guess as many as want to can play but there were 10 of us at my table the other night.
