JUL/AUG Challenge! Alphabet...
ok, you got two months to do something alphabet related.
some people have discussed doing their username with matching sprites, some single letters, real names, full alphabet, whatever strikes your fancy. The main idea I believe is to have a character that has the same first letter as the letter you are working with. For example for the letter M you could stitch Mario next to it, etc...
Submissions are due by midnight on august 31st!!
GOOD LUCK!

Re: JUL/AUG Challenge! Alphabet...

Wow, what good timing! I just finished my very first cross stitch project ever, and here it is: (it needs to be ironed, still a little wrinkled)

I had a ton of fun making it! I've been a big crafter since I was about 5 years old, but for some reason it never occured to me to try stitching until after visiting this site![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
