Procrastination Station: Doctor Who, Part Trois

For previous posts about my version of this project see: Part One & Part Deux

The Doctor Who Stitch along was a collaborative project between Jennifer Ofenstein, Aalia Zaman, Kim K, Kristel Carnahan, Jordan F, Angelica Rodriquez, Soma Acharya May 15 - July 31, 2013. For more information & to view the original patterns, click HERE.

  
I have completed the final Doctor Who block! Now to put them all together in a bed runner!

The 11th Doctor as played by Matt Smith is represented here in a design by Soma Acharya. I think she did a great job with his hair, bow tie, & pant cuffs.

 When I first started the stitch along the 12th Doctor had not debuted so I searched around online & found this image by onegemini on deviantART. I flipped it so it is a mirror image of Peter Capaldi.

War Doctor (John Hurt) was created by Kerry Dustin for Fandom in Stitches after the initial stitch along was over.

I'll post the finished product when complete. Who knows? Maybe this will be my first completed quilt!

Procrastination Station: Doctor Who, Part Deux

I can't really say I have a favorite Doctor. I watched Doctor Who sporadically when I was about 6 or 8 at my grandmother's house. We couldn't get cable (living outside of a village), so Doctor Who was probably on WMHT, channel 17, our local PBS station. For some reason PBS & WXXA, channel 23 (now the local Fox station) didn't come in well at our house, so my little sistar & I would walk the 100 yards or so to Nanny's & watch the original Star Trek, the Twilight Zone, Doctor Who, or any old movies Nanny was watching. (I particularly love musicals, especially Astaire & Rogers.) Usually we would get some Jell-O cake, Nanny's amazing oatmeal cake (YUM), or some of the almond windmill cookies Gramp got in his metal lunchbox everyday.

This is a very long-winded way of saying that Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor, is really the only Doctor I have really known. (Feel free to groan...) Tom Baker is who came to mind when my intelligent & somewhat geeky friends started going on-and-on about the show around the time of the Ninth Doctor. Then David Tennant appeared as the Tenth Doctor & I was still thinking of the guy with the scarf & the fuzzy afro...

I still have not watched any of the new episodes. My daughter does not seem interested. But... embroidering these Doctor Who designs has been a ton of fun. I'm sure one of my fan-girl (or fan-boy) friends will enjoy whatever kind of gift comes out of this stitch-a-long.

I haven't started the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith). & they just announced the Twelfth Doctor, but we will have to wait for Christmas for that...

Thank you Fandom In Stitches for the DWSAL. I will be back!
