Hi all

I recently found this site and am addicted to it :D I love the NES era, I still have mine from when I was a kid, still works, don't play it very often though.

I found a lot of great patterns on here, I decided to start with the Mario Across the Ages. So far I have 7 of the 10 marios (I started it before i noticed the goomba boot one was missing...oh well)...it's been taking me around 2.5 - 3 hours to do each mario....so longggggggg.

Anyways, I hope to finish it by the end of the month, there are sooo many patterns I want to stitch!

I finished all the marios! yay....now working on the floor.

Question: for those who did this pattern, did you fill in the white squares in the floor with white floss? or just leave it blank with the white cloth? I haven't decided which way i'm going to go...I think it would look much better filled in...

I filled it white white floss. I also think it looks better. :)

That's pretty sweet. If you don't mind my asking...where did you get the pattern? My hubby would love to put something like that in his man-cave. He's a big NES collector.

Yoshigirl...I found the pattern here:

However the mario with the goomba boot is missing from that pattern, and Johloh added the pattern for that guy to be added to the above pattern (I started before i noticed so I don't have the room to add him :) )

he is here:

Have fun :)

I'm trying to figure out where to put him in the pattern. Before or after the frog?

I have seen him after the frog or before the statue...either one would work.

I'm almost done mine, i have 1.5 black blocks from the floor left, and if i decide to, the white squares :)
