Super Mario 3 World Cross Stitch Maps

Since 2015 I have slowly been working on stitching the Mario 3 World maps.    I was using some free maps that I found on Sprite Stitch but recently purchased the program Pattern Keeper and these patterns didn't work in that.  Bummer!  
But, I have a cross stitch software so I converted the images in the program and looked over the patterns to try to get the most accurate colors.   
I thought I would share the patterns here in case there are others who would like them.  Yes, I know, you can buy these from several places on Etsy, but these images are owned by Nintendo and people really shouldn't be selling them- especially if they aren't even bothering to double check the colors- hopefully they are!  
Also included is a sampler pattern featuring a small chunk of all eight maps in one stitch!
You can download the maps here.  They are all together in a zipped file.  Enjoy!

The Twelve Dogtors

Apparently I'm on a bit of a Doctor Who kick right now.    A friend and I were chatting about how there are so many neat Peanuts/Doctor Who mash-ups so I started looking at images and being amused.  Some I'd seen before but I hadn't looked for a while and came across The Twelve Dogtors, which I found particularly neat.   
I decided to turn the image into a cross stitch... and many hours and weeks later I've converted it... but it will be a while before I can stitch it as I'm still working on Super Mario 3 World 4.  I'm sixty-five percent done, so I am getting there!
If you'd like to stitch it, here's the pattern.   I own no rights to this and creative talent is not mine (though I do confess I changed the twelfth doctor... gave him his sonic sunglasses).   Do NOT take this pattern and put it for sale on etsy. That would be illegal in more ways than one.
This pattern is compatible with Pattern Keeper.  The pattern is very large so I would suggest a pretty high stitch count, like 24 or 25.

Doctor Who Cross Stitch Patterns

I will confess that I have far too many interests in the crafting realm.   Someday I may be smart and give one up so that I can actually accomplish all the projects I'd like to accomplish, but where is the fun in that?
I enjoy cross stitch.  The main caveat is that I like big patterns... and they take a nice chunk of time... and since cross stitch is not functional (as in you can sleep under it or use it) the allotted time it receives is when I watch a movie... which isn't too terribly often and half the time I decide to work on making birthday cards... so you know... cross stitch doesn't happen too often...
But I enjoy looking at patterns though I don't buy unless I am actually going to work on it and since I rarely finish a project all I do is window shopping, but sometimes I mess around in PC Stitch and make a pattern... which is what I've done with two Van Gogh Doctor Who images. 
Now, these patterns I didn't really do any work on. The mock up looks good so I think they're fine... colors may be off a bit so you might need to change them... but I thought I would share the patterns here.  They're free as I don't own rights to the images so selling these would be rather wrong.
The patterns do work in Pattern Keeper.  The mock-up looks a bit odd on both of them and doesn't match what PC Stitch shows me but I have read that the PK mock-up isn't entirely accurate.

Enjoy and post your finished photo in the comment! I want to see how they turn out!
