Video Game Sprite Shirts
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.

Super Mario Quilt
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!
