Today, my elder son is 18, on the day of the 50th anniversary edition of Dr Who. For a dedicated fan, there was only one birthday present possible from a quilting mother.

Quilting on back, detail
Thanks to every designer n the Dr Who stitchalong who contributed their designs so generously. Keeping this secret from April until now , in a small house, has been a challenge.
I have just started a new job, so a lot of stitching has slowed down while I adjust to everything involved with that. A couple of postcards for the birthday swap, made with hand-dyed and commercial fabrics.
A 5inch Dear Jane block to complete a tilt started by one of our group members who was a great quilter and who died this year after a long life. Although I enjoyed making this in memory of her, this has fully convinced me that I will never make one of these quilts.
Then finally, quilting of a piece of screen printed cloth, potentially to protect my laptop if the piece is large enough. Inside is tray-dyed cloth overprinted with a photo screen that has two sections on one screen.
Outside is Procion P painted cloth then overprinted with two different screen stencils made from wide masking tape carved into curves with a scalpel.
Details of quilting, so far.
I am also taking part in this stitch-along, but there will be few photos as the final product will be a present to be revealed on the day of the 50th anniversary edition.
