This is it! The final week of Doctor Who Stitch Along as designed by your Fandom In Stitches Designers! We'd like to thank the following designers for making this awesome event possible and for donating their valuable time to one of our favorite fandoms.

Next week, we'll be posting those patterns designed by YOU, our readers. We encourage you to share your supplemental embroidery designs and become part of the Doctor Who Stitch Along Design Invitational! Everything you need to know to participate is HERE! Please read the instructions carefully. They're short, but important if you would like to share your design with other FiS readers and have a chance to win a special prize!
And now, because we all know The Doctor never travels alone, we share his most faithful companion...
The TARDIS!
Designed by Angelica Rodriguez
Stitched by Jennifer Ofenstein
