I tried to make a pattern but your image is a bit blurry ; I tried with three other images but the colors are not good with KG chart... if nobody has replied you, I'll work on it tomorrow morning !
Thankyou! I was worried I'd have to find a different game, I don't mind if you have to change the picture, anything from Harvest Moon would be great to do. Not to worry if you can't get it to work though. :wave:
So, here is a pattern from the game Harvest Moon.
I've changed a lot of colors, because they didn't look good on KGchart...
As you can see on the "colors" picture below, the real thread colors are brighter than the KG chart "preview" image ;
Is the result OK for you QueenBex ? or would you like something different ?

Since both my squares were not of the right dimension (even though they were considered as 16ct on the website I ordered), I don't want to do a whole square again just to realise that it won't fit on the quilt :/
I've juste received my order from a french site : http://www.universbroderie.com and they have what we need !

A 96 x 96 square is 14,8 cm (5.826 ") so I think it's OK this time :) :cool:

Ok, I need a little help. I'm still new at pattern creation. LOL!

I think I was able to get my daughter's square patternized but I don't know how to get it from a .sth file to a pdf so she can print it out. Can anyone either convert it for me or give me a tutorial on it?

Also, for my square I'm debating between two pics so I bring them to the awesome pattern makers here and see what you guys can do with them. Lolol!

The first one is just a classic Q-Bert making his "noise" and what I was thinking of going with originally because even though it's just a character it's very obvious who it is (I was also thinking of making the white background black instead of white). The second one is more "gamish" with Q-Bert, Coily, Slick and Sam, and a few of the blocks. I like this one too but I kind of really want the "noise" because everyone knows that the wah wah wah of him. Maybe something like the second picture with the noise from the first one spliced into it? I'm not sure. lol For colors, I'd say anything up to like 25 would be acceptable because I'm going to have to get around 25 for my daughter's piece as well.

The only editing program I have is paint and I'm horrible with graphics so that's why I need help making mine work. lolol

Finally making the post... Keep getting distracted by fiddling with the pattern instead of writing this!

Righto.... I have decided to do TWEWY.

Thank you for the offer of helping with Journey BMH. I was ideally determined to do the pattern myself for this myself.

Having said that, if you don't do it first, I may take you up on that offer after I have proved to myself I can do this lol.

And the file pre-editing. Any reccomendations welcome (have yet to look at 'real' colours and such).

Alright, I found a Q-Bert that will work for me but I'd still love it if someone would post a pdf version of the Vanellope .sth I posted earlier so my daughter can print out the pattern for her square. :)

Edit: Got someone, thanks! :D

I can't thank you enough Sofara! She'll be so happy she doesn't have to "install more stuff on my laptop" and won't have to stitch from her screen! :yahoo:
