OMG! I just started doing cross-stitch again after about 10 years of a break from it, and I CANNOT wait to do this one! I absolutely LOVE Mario. I’m rushing to the store for supplies right now!
And my husband would love Link, but he’d never admit he liked cross-stitch, but I am going to have to do these for myself.
You’ve inspired me to do one for Yoshi, my favorite Nintendo character
I’ll post on my blog when I complete it and let you know!
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I love this!
January 3rd, 2008 at 4:37 pm

This is fantastic! I’ve been cross-stitching for 25 years and playing Mario Brothers for almost as long.
I will definitely be stitching these guys!

[…] Now on to something that makes me happy. As you may or may not know, I’m a child of the 1980s. With that comes 80’s video games, such as Super Mario Brothers, my favorite game of all time. I just love the little guy. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I came across Sprite Stitch, a website devoted to cross-stitching old video game characters. Below is one of the patterns available for download: […]

February 8th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

April 21st, 2009 at 9:47 am
does anyone know how much it would cost to buy all the material to complete this project???
April 21st, 2009 at 4:11 pm
assuming you have no supplies…approx.
14 colors = $7
needles = $4
cloth = $5
so easy less than $20.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
thanks, another question is if i want to add the mario in the green shoe, what would be the width and height of the cloth i should buy?
April 25th, 2009 at 10:55 am
one more question incase you haven’t answered the other one, how many thread of floss do you use to stitch each stitch for this project?
April 26th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
two strands is the typical usage for cross stitch.
May 11th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Hey johloh, I don’t know if you knew this, but I did this pattern in Perler beads and added a Super Mario World sprite to the end!

what is the size of adia id need in inchs please?????
March 18th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
your aida can be whatever you want. 16 or 14 is the most common…14 is 14 stitches per inch, 16 is 16 per inch. so if you choose 14 itll be bigger.
March 21st, 2010 at 10:13 am
sorry what i mran is that youve put, 216 W x 64 H thats very very big if inchs and even in cm
March 22nd, 2010 at 7:40 am
its not inches or cm. its stitches.
you need to divide the stitches by the type of aida to get the overall size. one stitch isnt one inch.
in aida 14, 14 stitches = 1inch.
March 24th, 2010 at 9:07 am
oh right ok i get it now duh sorry i was gonna say thats very big if its even cm lol
March 24th, 2010 at 9:33 am
next pay day which thank fully is tuesday im gonna go out any by the stuff to do this cant wait
:D 
April 3rd, 2010 at 8:17 am
i started this project today only cost me approx £16 which is good i think
£4.99 for the adia and the rest in dcm 85p per colour 
just wondering how long its gonna take me to complete the white i think will take the time
August 14th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
I’m starting on this right now! So excited!
August 18th, 2010 at 5:55 am
