Sprite Stitch Board!

Hello all,

I stitched this for my hubby, The Zelda game is his favorite. We also framed it ourselves. TFL! Thank you to the fan who made the pattern.

Thanks for looking.

Looks awesome! I love the fabric you used to stitch it on!

I've seen some of the marbled cross stitch fabric at my craft store lately. I've never been able to figure out a use for 'em but what a clever way to use it! It looks lovely.

Thank you for the kind words. I cross stitch a lot. The fabrics are called "hand dyed cross stitch fabrics". They are indeed very nice for adding backgrounds to designs. I don't stitch with plain fabbies anymore.

At first glance, I thought you had stitched the white/blue clouds! I do love that fabric!

Wow I love that fabric and stitching looks great! Really love it.

That is really amazing with the dyed fabric

I was hoping to stitch this on marbled fabric, but had trouble finding it in Canada (or a site that would ship to Canada). After seeing your results I might have to look a bit harder.

that looks amazing on that fabric, love it, great finish!

Thank you everyone, i appreciate all the lovely comments..

Tbsp-- here are some sites you can purchase hand dyed cross stitch fabrics from, and i think they ship internationally too, I do regular cross stitching and most of us are not limited to living in the US. I am only going to list the ones i have personally ordered from. With the exception of polstitches, but i know alot of people who use/buy from them and have received them in an orderly & timely manner-- the owner also frequents the xs board i am a part of.

The fabric i used here is from silkweaver (http://www.silkweaver.com). They had since then had a transition and people had been having problems with getting their orders etc, so i am not going to recommend it, unless you really want to give them a try. I haven't ordered from them since their transition, so i can't really say i have a bad/good relationship with the new company handling their fabrics. There also used to be a sugar maple fabrics based in Canada, with beautiful fabrics, and i mean really beautiful hand-dyeing/air brush techniques, but sadly they closed down 2-3 years ago. Hope this helps!
