Stitch by stitch and pixel by pixel, cross stitch is a great medium for geek crafts! Get out some graph paper and markers and see what kind of designs you can come up with.

Flickr user Pixel Bit has gone cross stitch crazy! She stitched tons of buttons with different video game sprites on 20-count Aida fabric. For those of you who don’t cross stitch, 20-count is super teeny tiny! Click through to see them all individually.

Alice at Wonderland posted about this awesome, awesome, did I mention it’s awesome? NES coffee table by Kyle of Ultra Awesome. The best part? It really works! Kyle was kind enough to share instructions and step-by-step pictures of his masterpiece.

Geek Crafts reader Kat sent us a link to her awesome blog of video game sprite t-shirts that she hand-paints as gifts for friends. She specializes in NES sprites. I am *so* impressed with how crisp and precise her painting is. I think the Bubble Bobble guy is my favorite.

Craftster user JenGoPop crocheted this fun little amigurumi Q-Bert and she even shares her pattern and instructions. Cool detail: she suggests putting pipe cleaners in his legs to make him poseable.

There are very few Q-Bert crafts on the Internet…if you’ve made any Q-Bert crafts, please email us!

Reader Jen sent us a picture of her very first quilt. She says,

“I love old school Super Mario Brothers and I am trying to learn how to quilt. This is my first attempt. I call it my starter quilt. Super easy to make but a bit time-consuming.”

Mario looks awesome on such a grand scale. Good job, Jen!
