Doctor Who Along block 11 Striped Scarf

In this weeks installment of the Doctor Who Along, we have "4th Doctor" Tom Baker's striped scarf. Remember that scarf? To say it was long would be an understatement. It always seemed to come to the rescue when needed and somehow magically never managed to get caught on anything - or did it? It's been awhile. Tom Baker was the Doctor that started me on the series in the beginning. I was still a kid back then - hard to believe I know. The special effects in those days were laughable at best, but somehow the show had a charm that made you look beyond all the cheese.


So I present to you, the 11th foundation block for the Doctor.Who.Along - the striped scarf. Make it in whatever colors you choose. I chose to stick close to the original colors. Another Constellations fabric print for the background. Perfect I tell you! Thank-you Miss Lizzie House!


Link to Pattern and Instructions here and on Craftsy.

I hope you enjoy sewing it, it's one of the easier blocks in the QAL. The 11th block means we are more than halfway through this QAL!

Allons-y!

Delete or Upgrade? Are you compatible? Doctor who Along block 9

It's time for the Doctor Who Along block 9.

Can you guess what it is?


It's the Cybermen.  Always showing up en masse and ready to delete anyone who runs.

You can have your very own Cyberman to adorn your quilt.

The block pattern can be found here or through the Craftsy website.



Here is the finished block.  Once again Miss Lizzy House's Constellations fabric are just a perfect background.


As always please share your finished creations on the Flickr Doctor.Who.Along pool or view for lots of inspiration and sewing help.

Cyberman is an intermediate block and a lot easier than last weeks, so you can take a breather.

Happy Sewing!

Doctor Who Along Block 8 ~ Weeping Angel

PLEASE NOTE – these patterns have been removed are no longer available
Are you ready for block 8 of the Doctor.Who.Along? It's a Weeping Angel. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, either way they're scary. This one is at least weeping so we don't have to see the scary angel face staring at us from our quilt! Ha!



Soma designed this block and it comes in 2 formats depending upon your skill level. We realize that some of the blocks in the Doctor.Who.Along are very challenging. This one ranks among the toughest in the QAL for sure - if the angel has you scared in more than one department, try the easier block. If you are up for a challenge, go for the harder one. Either way, you'll end up with a cool new block for your quilt or project

Pattern and instructions available HERE.   Don't forget to share your finished blocks in the Flickr pool.  Doctor.Who.Along



Happy Sewing!!

Doctor.Who.Along Block 4 ~ SS Madame de Pompadour

PLEASE NOTE – these patterns have been removed are no longer available

This week it's Soma's turn for block 4 in our installment of the Doctor.Who.Along QAL on Flickr.

SS Madame de Pompadour
SS Madame de pompadour


Pattern and instructions can be found on Soma's Blog or on Craftsy.
This block has a lot of little pieces but no difficult angles so it's a slow and steady wins the race kind of block.  I recommend some uninterrupted time, good music, and possibly also a favorite beverage.

I used various Kona gray's for the ship and Lizzy House's Constellations fabric as the background which just happens to work perfectly.  So you might want to snag some up while it's still available.

Don't forget to add your finished block to the Flickr pool - there are so many amazing blocks in there already - it's so fun to see all of your hard work!

I am currently on summer vacation in Canada, but I'll be back next week.  In the meantime, happy sewing!
