Geek Crafts reader <em>Lauren</em> of This is a Crayon Disaster! submitted this awesome shirt that she cross-stitched with the scene from the boss battle in Super Mario Brothers. Don’t miss the detail on the sleeve!

She says,

Finally done. Never want to see it again :)

I feel the exact same way about cross-stitching, my friend.

Etsy user CarolinaPatchworks is selling this awesome Super Mario Mini-Level Quilt. Her description says it all:

In the decades since his first Sisyphian pursuit of a huge barrel-chucking gorilla, Mario’s legacy has built into mythic status. It was inevitable that some glorious day his epic battles with the infamous goombas and formidable (for turtles, at least) koopa troopas would be immortalized in that most ancient of media, the Quilt.

Flickr user What What posted this photo of himself posing in front of an enormous 8-bit Mario. Taken in England, it’s kind of a shame that other people tagged on top of the tiles.

Craftster user craftewoman made this fun Albert Einstein Lab Rat Doll with the ever-popular poppet pattern. He wasn’t originally going to be Einstein, but when she added his hair, it was obvious. Click through to see the polymer clay accessories she made for him.

The most popular post here on Geek Crafts to date is our 13 Geeky Baked Goods and this is a great example of a geeky cake. Flickr user TraderZed submitted this Boo Mario cake. I’m not really sure who Boo Mario is compared to other Marios, but the cake is great! Very impressive fondant work.
