Here we have a really cool piece of video game-related embroidery by Elsa Olsson who hails from Sweden:

World 1-1 Embroidery

That’s right – the entire first level of the original 8-bit Super Mario Bros., Goombas, Power Up Mushrooms, and all!

Embroidered Goombas

World 1-1 - A Work In Progress

The project, begun in September of 2008, is still a work in progress; once completed (Elsa hopes to finish the project by spring of this year), the entire piece will measure 244 by 16 inches – a little over 20 feet long!
