Stitching Pixels: Phantasy Star Update!

In a previous post, I mentioned that I was undertaking a fairly large cross stitching project: the entire title screen of the first Phantasy Star game for the Sega Master System!  I've been working on it off an on for quite a while now, and I finally feel like I've made enough progress to post an update...


This is a zoomed out picture of the whole canvas so far (my digital camera is terrible, by the way).  I started at the center and have been working my way to the left with the lettering.  The area I have stitched so far is about 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall.


This is a much closer (and much better) picture of the stitches themselves.  I've decided to save the white for last so it doesn't get too dirty while I continue to work on it.  I'd hate to think of what could happen to it if I did have to wash it after spending that much time working on it.  Oh no, I don't want to think about that at all...

So there's the update!  Slowly but surely, I'm making some progress.  Hopefully when it's all done, it'll look a little something like this:


Until next time, happy gaming and even happier crafting!

I realise it's been a while since you posted this but I'd be really interested to know if you finished this piece (or if not, how far you got!).
I'm a huge PS fan and I also do PS stitchings - I've got a PSII work-in-progress, but I was thinking of tackling the original game's title screen as well :)
Thanks!
