Welcome to Geek Crafts - where geekiness and craftiness combine into one delicious website!
Craftster user benjibot just posted the cross-stitch work of an entire year. He stitched each and every monster from the NES game Dragon Warrior. He made “the lowly slime… to the final form of Dragonlord.” Click through to see all of them – it’s quite impressive!
Today I heard the story of a 21 year old, Stephen King loving, video game geek who passed away from congestive heart failure on January 12th. Mikey was trying to “hold on” until The Watchmen movie came out, but sadly, this WOW loving geek passed before it happened. I thought to honor his memory I’d post this Stephen King Heart Embroidery that I found awhile back and was waiting for the “right time” to post.
Antarcticraft made and posted this detailed embroidery of a heart with a famous King quote “I have the heart of a small boy, it’s in a jar on my desk” embroidered in a great “creepy handwriting” style on craftster. This is something I would love to have in a frame next to my Stephen King collection on my shelf, great job, antarcticraft!
Attackofthevintage posted this Spaceship Quilted Post Card on Etsy. I’m not sure which is better, the funky space ship imagery or the fact that all the materials she used for this quilted project came from things she had around the house.
Flickr user monikalel42 posted her Star Trek cross-stitch in the Geek Crafts photo pool. She included Scotty, Chekov, McCoy, Chapel, Kirk, Uhura, Spock, Sulu and Rand.
Cherry_Blossom55 posted this Periodic Table Duvet Cover that she quilted for her chemistry-major beau on Craftster.com. In addition to being “totally epic” (her words) it’s also one of the geekiest (and coolest) quilts I’ve seen on the web. If you read through, she explains how to use a regular printer to print to fabric!
Craftster user ChrisSews wanted to make something that a guy would enjoy opening at a couples baby shower. Since the guy in question is into zombies, she came up with a Zombie Training ball. She says,
I embroidered the baby zombie, and the “Future Zombie Hunter” on black satin and white flannel. I found this great black and red skull fabric and also used some red velvet, red grid fleece, white striped terry to make lots of different textures for the baby. I also added some ribbon taggies. I finished it off with black felt end caps embroidered with the biohazard symbol.
This baby will be prepared for the inevitable zombie invasion right from the start!
