Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Everyone in my family locally is going to get a xstich project this year for Christmas . . . except one brother (and a nephew who will be 11 months so I don't think he cares). I don't know what to do for him. He's into video games and computers so if anyone knows of any patterns from bookmark size or larger that I could do I would appreciate some help. Everything I've found hasn't appealed to me. I've thought about designing something in PCStitch but I don't have the time to fiddle with it (plus my only attempt so far to inport a picture to make a pattern was a disaster).

Not sure how helpful these will be:

Sprite Stitch has a collection on some video game cross stitches, but they're mostly 8-Bit ones But they're quite good Will depend really, what games your brother is into

Yeah, knowing the game you want to stitch will make it alot easier to narrow down possibilities.
I googled the actual names of the games my boys liked and found a few different designs.

I've been gaming since the original Nintendo days. He started durring the Super Nintendo days. There's some good stuff in there. I especially like the Final Fantasy piece. I knew you guys could help me out. Thanks!

I liked that too, but not sure if you can get a copy of the chart?

Well, I finally picked a winner. I made two patterns out of two icons for games that I know he likes to play on his Xbox 360. I'll make a SAL of the one I decided to do. Hopefully it will turn out.

I'm pleased you've got it sorted. Look forward to the SAL's now.
