After much planning, plotting and scheming with some of our awesome, generous and talented Fandom in Stitches Designers, it is a great pleasure to announce the Fandom In Stitches Doctor Who Stitch Along!
Each Wednesday for 12 weeks, we will be honoring our favorite Doctor's 50th Anniversary with 12 brand new hand-embroidered patterns designed by:
Each week, we'll stitch one quilt block. At the end of 12 weeks, piece your blocks, add a border and you'll have your very own Doctor Who quilt top!
Look for the very first pattern Wednesday, May 15, 2013!
Approximate yardage to make our Doctor Who quilt:
- Background (for embroidered center): 1 yard
- Dark Fabric: 1 1/2 yards
- Light Fabric: 2 1/2 yards

ReplyDeleteSpeechless is a good sign! :D
DeleteAhh! So exciting to see this up here! I really hope everyone loves it as much as I already do! (I should really be giggling maniacally and tapping my fingers together like Mr Burns in The Simpsons, because I Know What's Coming!)
ReplyDeleteNow you know why I love planning events like this so much! Muwahaha!
DeleteSound fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be amazing fun!
DeleteI am sew excited! Allons-y!
ReplyDeleteWe can't ask for more than that! :D
DeleteWhy, oh why am I not a Whovian... yet. I've wanted to start watching the series forever and also pick up a big embroidery project, looks like I finally have an urgent reason to do both^^
ReplyDeleteThere's no time like the present to become a Whovian! May I suggest stitching as you watch? ;)
DeleteI"m so excited I can hardly stand it. First because it's the Dr. I've watched since the early 70's AND because it's stitchery. I don't think I could stand to start another PPed one. this is great!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're excited! I thought this would be a fun take-along project for summer. My heart belongs to paper piecing, but it's definitely not my only craft! :D
DeleteOMG - I may jump in on this - it is going to be too hard not to!
ReplyDeleteAllons-y is right!!! Count me in PLEASE!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!! I absolutely needed a project like this. Pure joy :0)
ReplyDeleteOMG -- how very awesome and BRILLIANT!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
Thank you!!!!!
I'm excited for this, and love hand stitching. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would be thrilled if I would do this for her but I just don't know if I can commit to 12 weeks of hand embroidery...Bet it's gonna be great though!
ReplyDeleteI guess that I've been working to much at the USPO before retirement so I don't know who Dr.? is ,but I would like to do the embroidery.I'd love to get in on this also !Pat Rand
ReplyDeleteFantastic! My elder son will be 18 on the actual date of the 50th anniversary editio, and he is planning a Dr Who party. This will be so terrific to give to him then!
ReplyDeleteI found these, pinned them to Pinterest, and figured I'd share, as it is he heads for the 9th, 10th, & 11th Doctors...
