Dr Who?

I have been working on another Tardis quilt this past weekend.  

I have a good friend's mom that wanted me to make one for her.  It's my first commission quilt.  

I got the top done on Friday night.

The pattern is called Relatively Dimensional by Sam Hunter and it is AWESOME!  

Also, very straightforward to put together.  

Saturday, I did some running around but worked some more in the evening.

Autumn was LOADS of help!

This is what she does when she wants my attention.  Pest!

Sunday I worked from 10am until about 3:30 and came away with a finished top!!

Why yes, that is Gallifreyan text in the border fabric from Spoonflower.

I also managed to sew the backing together too.  

It is now at the quilters! 

 I still need to make the binding and the label but I feel pretty good about this.

Three quilts at the quilter's in about a month!  

I think that is the most productive I have been in a long time.  

I also worked on the next wedding quilt but more of that tomorrow.

It's A Tardis

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.

Doctor Who?

Yes, that's right, Doctor Who!  My son was wanting a Tardis quilt.  I had no clue.  A what? 

 He showed me exactly what he wanted and then I had to hunt for a pattern.  

"Dear God, please let there be a Tardis pattern so I don't have to design one.  

Thanks in advance. " ~Pam

As proof that He does answer your prayers I was able to find a great one on Craftsy!

Relatively Dimensional by Hunter's Studio.

This pattern was easy to follow and easy to make!

Sam (the designer) designed the words into a FQ on Spoonflower.

Far be it from me to do more work then necessary!!

I bought the panel. 

Actually I bought a yard's worth. 

One would have thought that they would print 4 on a yard.

NOPE

They printed 1 in the middle of the yard of fabric  *sigh*

Epic fail.

So I live chatted them up and guess what?  

They reprinted it with 4 on a yard AND let me keep the original one.

Gotta love Spoonflower!

I ordered my background fabric from them for this.

It was a Dr Who Gallifreyan print and you can find it here.

Now I will show you what I did with this pattern and how things came out so far.

On Friday I got the lantern done.  

Saturday I began working on adding to things and by lunch time had this done.

I did have a few interruptions though.

"No mom, pay attention to meeeee"

I pushed on and got the entire top finished!

I added another 10 inches to the width to make the finished quilt size 60" x 80"

Sunday was on to the back.  

Some IG friends had given or sold me some left overs of their Spoonflower Dr. Who prints 

so I decided to incorporate them into the back.  

This pieced back took me all day!!!  

Now it is ready to go off to the quilter.  

I have some ideas of how I want it quilted so will be chatting with Kathy about that soon!

And the top row

My goal for September is to get this quilted and bound so it is ready to gift to my son.

I am linking up to ALYOF over at Fiber of All Sorts to help with this goal.

Next up is working on my Secret Stalker swap project for the A2MQG.

What are you working on?
