Sprite Stitch Board!

Holy cow, those look fantastic! I love the backgrounds you do on your projects.

How do you do that background? Those look so amazing!

Cool! It's one of my favorite games.

I'm also very curious what kind of material that background is made of.

as always, completely stunning work!

It's just regular DMC floss. I use needlework filling stitches for the background.

Also, I use plastic canvas because I find it easier to work with than fabric.

Thanks as well, johloh.

Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. It should be around the needlework area, although sometimes it's a bit off to the side.

The smallest I've seen it come in is 14, which is what I use. Most of it is much larger and uses plastic canvas yarn, but you can use floss on the 14.

Oh wow, looks great -- both the artwork and its presentation!

Wow! I love the combination of embroidery and cross stitch! I've never thought of using plastic canvas... thanks for the tip!!
