Sprite Stitch Board!

Hello all,

I'm new to the board but have been perusing the blog for a few days now. I've loved a lot of what I've seen and it's inspired me to try some cross stitching of my own.
I haven't done any in years so I'm a little excited to try it out again.

Here's what I plan on doing:



Printed pattern.


I think the final measurement is going to be 13in"x12"(35cm x 31cm) or so. I'm going to start with blue fabric so it's not as daunting as it looks. I'm picking up my supplies tomorrow so I hope to have some pictures early next week.

Edit: Actually when I went to pick up my cloth they were out of the 18 Aida, so I opted for the 14. The woman recommended the 14 because it's my first time anyways and I wanted to start that day so I just got it. It's goin to be a few inches bigger because of it too

Current status:
Day 3:
I wasn't going to do any on this today, but I got the itch for some reason. I think I'm a little addicted. I didn't do much, but I'm finally getting to shape out some of the windows. I'm looking forward to doing more. I had the pattern below the cloth so it may look a little strange in the picture.

Ambitious! But it will look awesome when you finish. Definitely a good idea to get blue canvas I think

I have only played FFIV on the DS, but it's been very fun.

Very cool! I definitely second getting some navy blue aida. That background would be a nightmare to do

OMG So much blue! I love FFIV (I still prefer FFVI but i love the story of this one)

Just asking like that, it's been a while since i played, but isn't supposed to be "White Mage" and "Summoner" instead of White Wiz and Caller?

I cant wait to see this stitched, FFIV is one of my favorites.

The orignal SNES game had the names different because of the character restriction on the names I beleive. I took screenshots directly from the game when making my pattern

It's been a while since I updated so I thought I would.
I'm working on it slowly, but it's coming along.



I hope to have the Time window finished pretty soon and start on the rest of the border.

I'm trying to get this done by November so I'm kicking it into high gear.

I don't think I'm going to get this done by November. I wanted to finish it for an art show someone I know is having.

Pretty cool so far. I'd say don't worry about getting it done by November, deadlines suck anyway : P
