Firstly, can I thank m4pl3g1rl for the suggestion for this month's challenge! And since she said it better than I can...

Make the "Stitching Deities" out of modified game sprites. Like a recolored Peach with wings as the cross stitch goddess. Then Sprite Stitch could have its very own pantheon.
So, what I want from you this month is a pantheon of crafting deities. You can use any sprite or image you want - recoloured, modified, even your own original sprites! Give them names, things to represent, backstories, anything you like!

You can submit as many entries as you want to, as long as each entry only contains one deity. Apart from that, go nuts. As usual, all crafts are welcome! As are questions, which I'm sure some of you will have :grin:

Very creative idea! Now that I have more time to stitch, I'm gonna try and throw a pattern together for this ^^

This is a very cool idea, we'll see if I have enough free time (and creativity) to work on it... I am already swamped with readings and it's only been 1 week of classes!

This is such a cool and creative idea. I just wish I had time this month to make something. Between a convention and the charity quilts, I just can't find the time. I can't wait to see what everyone else does!!

This is the first challenge where I've actually had ideas to work with! Hopefully I can find time to knock together something for this...

So I totally ditched my readings to make a pattern yesterday and started stitching it... and found a ton of color problems. I was either missing colors, or they charted strangely (grays!). If I can resolve these issues I'll have an entry. I'm rather proud of it so even if I can't finish stitching it I'll try to post the artwork.

This sounds great, and im already brainstorming, but i just want a clarification; is it ok if i have multiple sprites working in godly tandem in one piece? :confused: I could just do each sprite separatly, but they would look better working together
