Nerd Games - Fall 2025

Prompt: October - Battle: Group
Team: Gourd of the Rings
Project Name: Camp Nerd Games Shirts
Project Link:
Brief Description: Some of you will recognize these! I’m choosing group because I made a group of shirts, and they were made for a group. This group! I made ten in total. Luckily it went pretty smoothly, but sublimation still always takes at least twice as long as I expect. You think I’d remember that at some point. :joy:

I’ll be back with lots of other projects, but didn’t want to miss the Battle.

I am so glad you posted these! I’ve been wondering if you had them made or made them yourself. Which also had me wondering how they were made. Thank you for providing the answer. You did such a great job on these. I absolutely love mine!

Also, this is my experience with pretty much every craft I ever do :laughing:.

Those are really well done! I love clean simple graphics and colors on t-shirts. I bet people are very happy to wear them with pride!

Project Name: Granny Square Chicken

Project Link: (coming soon, I hope!)

Brief Description: After seeing a chicken just like this in the last season, and loving it, I remembered that I already had the pattern for one. It was supposed to be part of a group, but this last week was crazy, so only one is finished. I think I will add it to the “look what you can make” collection at my after school Crochet Club.

Brief description: I first saw this cat on the Ann Handmade blog. It is a free pattern that I printed out a few years ago. It kept showing up in my Pinterest feed, so I decided to make it…well, one cat led to another…and another. So now I have a basket of cats!

BLUE RIBBON ENTRY - FINE ART

Prompt: Quetzalcoatl
Team: So Corn-Fused
Project Name: Sir Breen Digital Pastels Painting
Project Link: Sir Breen (Digital Pastels Painting)
Brief Description: I’m using this as my Blue Ribbon Entry because it was about 15 hours of work and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. I also think it fits the prompt Quetzalcoatl because it’s multi-colored, and the Pastel tool in Rebelle was a new skill for me that I got to explore and play with in this painting.
