Sprite Stitch Board!

Hello, spritestitch! I've been lurking for ages but *gulp* this is my first post. I've picked up so many wonderful tips and ideas from you all so I wanted to finally contribute something.

This took me right around a week to complete. It would have taken a bit less but after completing the wizard I realized I wasn't happy with the skin color called for in the pattern so I had to take it all apart and redo it. I still need to iron and frame it but overall I'm happy with the way it turned out Thanks for looking!

Great job! I especially like the way the fires look.

I've wanted to do this one for a long time. Great Job!

Thank you so much! It's not nearly as exciting as some of the amazing work I've seen here but it's a start

Nice job! I just did "Master Using It and You Can Have This" a few days ago and I was gonna post it soon, but I'll wait a little bit. Did you find the black fabric difficult to deal with? I had a tough time with it

I've found the black is easier to work with if I have a sheet of white paper in my lap below it and a lamp on so you can see the holes a bit better.

If you're having issues with black fabric, I would suggest getting one of those craft light you hook to your hoop/frame. I'm working with black fabric currently and I had the same issue so I got this:

Its only 15$ and it helped me tremendously. I don't have issues finding the holes in the fabric anymore.




The colors you chose for this project looks perfect escalante. You should really post your pattern with the updated colors!

Yeah, I had a lamp on the floor that helped to shine, but it was still a pain in the butt : P

Thank you so much! I would love to see the "Master Using It" you did...maybe it would make me reconsider my next project LOL

Unfortunately I don't know how to convert KG patterns to PDF but I'll attach the sth file with the updated colors. In total I tweaked the skin colors, the wood for the sword and the green in his outfit. The skin coloring was way too orange-y and the sword was too maroon.

I think I'm going to get that light Lileya linked for my next project. This was my first time working on dark fabric and it was a bit tricky at times but I can see that light really helping.

Very nice project! Here's a PDF of your pattern!
