Futurama cross stitches

Bender: "What's the matter, did somebody die or something?"

Leela: "Kif's dead, Bender."

Bender: "Nailed it!"

One of my man's favorite shows is Futurama.  I don't usually craft anything for him for Christmas or his birthday because I'm always knitting in front of him and just give him the thing I made him when finished.  I decided to plan kind of a big project for him to open up Christmas morning.

When I decided to do this theme from the episode I, Roomate, I discovered there was a shocking lack of Futurama cross stitch ideas out there (at least I couldn't find much!) so I created all these in Excel, and I found free 8bit fonts through Dafont.com (listed below each picture).  It was a little hard to photograph in the hallway I put them in.  Enjoy!

I dyed this aida cloth blue (and, consequentially, about 1/5 of my kitchen in the process) with Rit dye.

Additional notes:  1) I messed up a little on the Water Fountain. I should have centered the words instead of putting them to the left.  2) Obviously many of the designs were rounded or had circles, and I had to make them more blocky.  3) I definitely took the most creative license with the Public Library, which was a pain in the tuckus.  I couldn't do the circle around the words without making it HUGE, and the open book in the design was nearly impossible with the small design of the letters (I went through about 3 ideas before landing on upright books with little Xs on the spines).  Also I had to outline the letters because the yellow I used was hard to read against the white.

Also, I use a technique I read on Young House Love when I'm planning to hang multiple pictures, where I cut a template with paper (leftover Christmas wrapping!) and put it up on the wall.  I hammered nails directly into the paper and just ripped them off when I was done.  Their post is right here.
