Looking for Game Board Patterns

sassylittlewitch · Post by **sassylittlewitch** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 1:37 am

I'm looking for cross stitch patterns in all kinds of game boards. Backgammon, parcheesi, checkers and any other game board. I'm decorating a game room in my home and would like to stitch them and hang them on the wall. I already have Monopoly. It's fantastic!

Welcone to the friendly and helpful forum. We are here to assist you in anyway that we can.

The only board game that I have seen lately is the Monopoly.

The two best sites for stuff is
http://www.123stitch.com/patterns_kits.html
http://www.patternsonline.com/

If these don't have anything maybe some of the other girls have some ideas.

You could make your own patterns if you have a pattern maker program. I have done that with some pretty good results.

Think I have a chess one. Will check and get back to you.

Found it.
It is a chess board with a celtic border, designed by Shelia Hudson and was featured in the October 2004 issue of Cross Stitcher. Can't scan in the picture just now as the printer that I have here in Bahrain doesn't scan, but the one I have in the UK does and I will be heading there within the next couple of weeks, so if you are prepared to wait I can send you the scanned picture. If on the other hand you want to see the picture just PM me your snail mail address and I will post it to you.

Just a quick update, my flight is booked for next Tuesday, so will get it scanned and sent to you by the end of the week.

Coffee_freak, that's really strange. At least the red snakes and ladders can be downloaded as a chart, so can't not be available, if you see what I mean. It's also in the 2007 catalogue. I suspect the blue one (simpler design, too) was from Cross Stitch Gallery, rather than New Stitches.

i found it by going to the homepage and looking for it..this link came up

Yup. That's was originally published in Cross Stitch Gallery. I wonder if the back issue is still available?

These are so cute, and the dominos chart is very clever. What a find.

You know I don't remember any board game named "Snakes" and Ladders. We had "Shoots" and Ladders.

I wonder if it is the "people separated by a common language" problem? I don't remember if you are British or American (or neither?!). I've heard it both ways, but I think in the UK the slytherins win. Chutes are so tame!!

sassylittlewitch · Post by **sassylittlewitch** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 2:54 am

I'm American and I was wondering what my children would have thought about playing a game that had "snakes" in the title when they were little. The American version is definately a watered down version as compared to snakes.

I was just talking to my 19 year old daughter about the game and differences in the title. I said "snakes" and she kind of wrinkled her nose...American kids...maybe we're raising them wimpy

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 5:45 am

Yes in the US we are all a bunch of wimps the game was Chutes & Ladders and they looked like slides and railed ladders I had a game but it was sold in a garage sale years back by my mom.
