My wife's completed cross stitch of an epic battle from classic gaming!

That's the final boss from Super Metroid for those who may not know :)

The best part of it is that she didn't use shortcuts, like having black fabric as the background instead of stitches. I love to see people fully dedicated to their project like that.

Holy crap, that's frigging incredible! Very nicely done.

That's awesome! This is one of my favorite games of all time! I have a Metroid pattern I found on Etsy but it looks so involved I haven't gotten around to it yet lol

I think about that boss battle at least once every month

awesome job, energy Cheerios and all. It's she planning on framing it?

kat_angstrom@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Oh yeah, this is getting framed and will hang next to my desk! :D

That looks so good! I can't even imagine how long that took.

Off and on, it took all of 2023 (though she didn't get much work done over the summer)!
