Any Dr Who fans out there? I finished my Tardis quilt and wanted to take a few minutes to share that here. My son was born the day after Christmas so this is going to be his birthday present. The pattern is called Relatively Dimensional and the words can be purchased from Spoonflower. The quilting is done by Kathy Koch of Thread Bear quilting and it is AMAZING!!
Here is where I spotlight Kathy's amazing quilting.
Rays of light coming from the light on top of the Tardis.
Windows outlined and Gallifreyan quilted into the border.
The DW is quilted into the panels
Not only did she quilt the words "Bad Wolf" into the Tardis, she used the correct font!
Some friends traded me some awesome Dr Who fabrics from Spoonflower. I used them on the back.
You can really see the quilting on the light back fabric too.
I used a Gallifreyan Translator to generate my son's name in Gallifreyan.
I used Pic Monkey to edit and add the words.
I then printed this label out on fabric and stitched over it.
That big mess of circles and dots is his name!
I am loving how this came out and can't wait to gift it to him this week!!!
What gift are you super excited to gift?
I have decided to link up with Finish it up Friday as it was gifted today.

WOW! What fun for a Whovian. Thanks for sharing.
Your Tardis quilt is fabulous. I have seen so many different versions and each one is so wonderful. Great quilting. He will love it.
Doctor Who fan here! I definitely need to make one of these at some point, one for me and one for my son, since we are both fans. I love how the quilting turned out on the back! If you are a doctor who fan, you might like some of the quilting on my quilt here: http://quiltmusings.wordpress.com/2014/12/18/back-to-quilting/

i am excited to give Auntia her calendar tea towel quilt - hers was the last one to be finished and she hasn't seen it altogether yet ... i think she will like the naming block best...
So love your Tardis. Merry Christmas
spectacular! I know a lot of Who-ers who would die for this quilt!! Including my granddaughter!!
This is a very unique quilt. I really like it. The quilter did do a perfect job as well.
Unbelievable... I love it!!!
From one dr. Who fan..it's awesome! Lucky boy!
Wonderful job! The quilting is fabulous.
The quilt is fabulous. Your son must love it. I could definitely see myself wrapped up in the Tardis quilt watching the Dr. on DVD.
Is there any way I can pay you to have one of these made for me?! This quilt is a "must have"!!
Is there any way I can purchase one of these through you? It's a "must have"!!
Christopher, there is not a way for me to contact you so I hope you come back and read this. I don't usually do commission work. If you contact me via email I can give you a quote but it will probably be more than you want to spend. My email is mamaspark@gmail.com
How did you manage to quilt in gallifreyan? Do you have a quilting machine? I only have a standard sewing machine.
HI Anonymous, I have no way to answer you via email so I hope you see this. I sent it to my long arm quilter and found that as a pattern choice. It is not Gallifryan, but it reminded me of that so I had her use it.
