Enjoy working on these, but always good to finish one. Did get it dropped off at the framer's on Thursday, so it's in their hands. Started work on our SGDQ prize and already lost a couple of days when I realized I'd started the middle stuff in the wrong spot. So there was 50, 60 stitches I had to undo/redo. But, we're back on track. Going to take longer than I was first figuring, even without the mistake, so prolly looking at mid-November before we finish. But still think we'll at least start Phantom Hourglass (still haven't decided which to do for that yet) before 2026.skater43 stitches Zelda games

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Bit late, but CONGRATS! it turned out so well, I'm so pleased!
Regarding the Phantom Hourglass ideas, they're all really nice choices! I think I like any of the ones with Link and Linebeck in the boat!

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Thank you. Always appreciate the love and support. And can't wait to show off the final framed project.
Dealing with Linebeck and sailing are obviously a big part of Phantom Hourglass, so would be good in a picture that is easily identified as that game. More than likely, this week or next I'll make a decision, just to give me time to make sure the final result won't be too pixelated, figure out colors, get said colors, etc.
SGDQ project is going. Second hiccup and bunch more stitches I had to undo/redo, but we've been progressing forward this week. Look for an update/WIP pic Sunday in my other thread.

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Just picked up the finished Spirit Tracks from the framer. Had a lot of colors to work with in the picture when choosing the frame and matting and all, and I like how the light blue turned out. And overall, how the picture looks. One look at this and there's no doubt which Zelda game it is from.
GDQ prize is coming along, check the other thread. Looking at first of December finishing that, then we'll bust out our AGDQ 2027 prize and plan is currently start of 2026 to jump into Phantom Hourglass, our last Zelda game/project.

That frame color is perfect!

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Thank you. Walking in with a finished project, I never know what they are going to suggest or come up with. But the light blue really goes with the picture and the various blues used in the sky. So, some credit, too, to our own @blackmageheart and the colors she came up with for the pattern.

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Thank you. (though gotta give the framer credit for making the final product look so good, frame/matte suggestions, etc.)
Re: Phantom Hourglass, no worries. Current project is coming along though I delayed a couple of days starting it. But still looking at lateish December finishing it. So no plans to start PH until January. And, with the holidays and all, you don't have a chance to finish it up, not a problem. Got my SGDQ 2027 project all patterned up, so I could spend a few weeks knocking that out to give you more time. I appreciate you working on the pattern for me, so don't want you to feel pressured to get it done on a deadline, rush it, etc.

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Hey Skater! Message from BMH posted on the Discord!
"hey all! sorry for not being about recently!
if possible, can someone let skater43 on sprite stitch know that I've had more issues getting my computer back up and running than thought and that I am working on the phantom hourglass pattern when I can.
it should be ready next week if I can get on sprite stitch to upload it
would super appreciate if someone could pass the message along
as at the minute I only have my phone online and it doesn't like sprite stitch for some reason!"

Re: skater43 stitches Zelda games
Thanks for the update! Sorry her computer is being dumb, but awesome she's still able to get work done on PH. And it's almost done! Awesome! See in my Lolo thread I was about to jump into the next project there, but I'll prolly just get things set up for that: cloth measured and cut, colors picked (which should take all of a few minutes considering there's only three colors and one of them is white), maybe stitch a little just to get things set. But once we get PH, we'll put Lolo on hold and jump back to Zelda. BMH has put in a lot of time and effort to do this for me, so I want to reward that by letting her see the fruits of her labors and seeing what the stitched project actually looks like.
