Merry Christmas y’all!
This is the a cross stitch of the ThinkGeek.com 8-bit wreath. I believe it is a seasonal item, so I can’t link you directly to it, but I can show you a picture of mine.
This hangs on my office door though the holiday season blinking blink blinking away. I didn’t have time (patience, knowledge) to wire up my cross stitch version, but I did have fun animating the picture!
You can make one too!
Think Geek’s 8 Bit Wreath in Cross stitch ~ Pattern ~ Finished size 4.5″ x 5.5″ on 16ct aida cloth.
I did not include the DMC numbers because I put my thread away before writing it down! Don’t worry – they are nice easy peasy colors that you can grab from your stash. I also made some minor changes to the controller (switched it to gray and put the buttons in SNES color order).
While I was animating, I figured I’d put together the WIP. I so love to watch them when other folks do it. Does that make me as weird as I feel?
We’re looking for Santa – shouldn’t be too long now! Hap-Hap-Happy Holidays to all of you!
Love it! You always have such fun stuff to show everyone! Who doesn’t love a good video game Christmas! lol
I do! I do! hahaha!
So fun! I really want to get into cross stitch but I rarely have a free hand these days. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
I enjoy it. It does take a fair amount of time. I took this one on vacation with us. Since we had a delayed flight, I picked up a few unexpected hours!
Fun! You always have some fun geeky ideas. I must learn have to make an animation
Heh, I can’t stop it! The geeky stuff just shines though.
This one is a simple .gif animation in photoshop. If you google “.gif animation photoshop” you’ll find about 1,000,000 tutorials.
thank you so much for adding the chart!! your work is beautiful, and my gamer son will love this
You’re so welcome Maru! It was fun to stitch too, I might do it again when I figure out how I want to finish this one (frame, ornament, quilt label?).
This is just plain awesome!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas Susan!
Why thank you! I did have a most excellent Christmas. I hope you did as well!

Me too! That’s why I did this one. I tend to pick huge projects I can’t finish. This one was pretty simple and pretty quick which is awesome!
