Some people grew up with Sega Mega Drives, some people with the SNES, I grew up with the Game Boy. DeviantART user iggystarpup obviously grew up with the Nintendo 64, and has made this brilliant appliqué hoop to show it!

Remember this project?
Miss Clawful decided that she wasn’t quite finished with her project after all, so she decided to make a background. Once again she used sprites from different games and was able to make a composite, coherent work. Color me impressed.

And here it is in a perfect frame!

Well done! For more info, click the link below.

I love when people use fan made sprites to create projects, and these two starter pokemon perlers are a wicked example.

Our challenge was something a bit different this month, so we decided to call it an “event.” It was a sampler stitch-a-long! blackmageheart explains, “ Every week for three weeks I will post the pattern everyone needs. These patterns will be selected randomly from the top 8 as voted for by all of you. Week 4 will be a band of your choice from all the submitted designs, as well as adding your name and the year… So, where’s the alonging part? We’ll all be doing the same basic patterns for three weeks, but feel free to add your own special touches, use different materials and colours, whatever you want to do to personalise your sampler.”
Our first band was Mario Kart, our second band was DDR, and our third band was Journey. Our fourth, of course, was “player’s choice.” Here are only a few of the awesome samplers that came out of this event:

samarin did some amazing Celtic knot work as a border!

gothamknight gave us some cool borders as well!

Ishtar went monochromatic in shades of blue for a very nice effect!

Here is blackmageheart’s. She added real needles to her center heart, along with an amazing border and some sparkling Aida!
And because, why not, here is mine:

It was a great event! This month our challenge is called “A Black Mage Holiday.” Come check it out!

I’m not sure if I’d be too keen with the bulbs that exposed, however a great idea for a weekend project.
