Zelda Wedding Sampler

[scifibimoncon8]

A few years back I made a wedding sampler for a friend who was fond of Zelda. Since I couldn't actually go to the wedding, I hoped a handmade gift would be adequate substitute.



Unfortunately I neglected to take a picture of the nicely finished piece all ironed and framed, so this is the closest image I have to done:


After realizing I hadn't saved ANY of my work (original files, photoshop images, etc.) I decided to rework it and share it asa pattern on my site. There's also more pictures there. Enjoy!

LINKED TOGETHER

That is adorable! I love that you used the Zelda II sprites -- I don't see them around as much -- and I love the flowy script of "linked together."

I'm actually working on a Zelda wedding sampler too, and was considering writing "linked hearts" or "full hearts" underneath the characters. Although I decided not to do that, I was happy to see that there was someone else of like mind (although I think that the phrase you picked is the best of the three)!

How did you wind up framing it? I feel that my project should be framed when I give it as a gift, and yet frame choices are so personal that I might want to leave it up to my friend. Any thoughts?

I don't know if "LINKed Together" was meant to be punny or not, but I loved it so much that I needed to sign up and let you know. A really great and geeky (in the best way!) wedding gift! I am working on a project for some friends as a housewarming gift now and I'd be really happy if it turned out half as well as this project did.

Oh how I am a fan of puns! Good job!

Hi scifibimoncon8,

I just wanted to say that I loved this pattern so much that I'm going to make it as well in honor of mine and my boyfriends 5 year anniversary coming up on January 2nd. I'll post pictures so you can see how it came out.

Thanks for such a beautiful pattern


PS - What count of Aida did you use and how many threads did you use in your stitching? Thanks

This design is so beautiful!! I love the border- and the bolack aida really sets it all off.

Well done for this sampler- I hope it will be treasured forever by them!
