The Twelve Dogtors

Apparently I'm on a bit of a Doctor Who kick right now.    A friend and I were chatting about how there are so many neat Peanuts/Doctor Who mash-ups so I started looking at images and being amused.  Some I'd seen before but I hadn't looked for a while and came across The Twelve Dogtors, which I found particularly neat.   
I decided to turn the image into a cross stitch... and many hours and weeks later I've converted it... but it will be a while before I can stitch it as I'm still working on Super Mario 3 World 4.  I'm sixty-five percent done, so I am getting there!
If you'd like to stitch it, here's the pattern.   I own no rights to this and creative talent is not mine (though I do confess I changed the twelfth doctor... gave him his sonic sunglasses).   Do NOT take this pattern and put it for sale on etsy. That would be illegal in more ways than one.
This pattern is compatible with Pattern Keeper.  The pattern is very large so I would suggest a pretty high stitch count, like 24 or 25. 

Doctor Who Cross Stitch Patterns

I will confess that I have far too many interests in the crafting realm.   Someday I may be smart and give one up so that I can actually accomplish all the projects I'd like to accomplish, but where is the fun in that?
I enjoy cross stitch.  The main caveat is that I like big patterns... and they take a nice chunk of time... and since cross stitch is not functional (as in you can sleep under it or use it) the allotted time it receives is when I watch a movie... which isn't too terribly often and half the time I decide to work on making birthday cards... so you know... cross stitch doesn't happen too often...
But I enjoy looking at patterns though I don't buy unless I am actually going to work on it and since I rarely finish a project all I do is window shopping, but sometimes I mess around in PC Stitch and make a pattern... which is what I've done with two Van Gogh Doctor Who images. 
Now, these patterns I didn't really do any work on. The mock up looks good so I think they're fine... colors may be off a bit so you might need to change them... but I thought I would share the patterns here.  They're free as I don't own rights to the images so selling these would be rather wrong.
The patterns do work in Pattern Keeper.  The mock-up looks a bit odd on both of them and doesn't match what PC Stitch shows me but I have read that the PK mock-up isn't entirely accurate.

Enjoy and post your finished photo in the comment! I want to see how they turn out!

The Tardis

The Tardis received a post many moons ago, but not its own post!   My niece loves Doctor Who and for her birthday her mother asked me if I thought I could make her a Tardis quilt.   I said, "Sure!" to her and "What have I gotten myself into?" to myself!    I couldn't find a pattern I liked.   I had no experience designing a pattern (at that point).  I hate math.  Math hates me.  What on earth could possibly go wrong?

After many headaches and frustration I designed the Tardis.  It's seen a few changes here and there... I think I have made it four times or so!     I do wish I were better at operating my quilt program as I'd love to play around with  the size of the Tardis so I could easily make it smaller, but whatever, it's bigger on the inside anyway, so why does it need to be large?
If you want to sew your own that pattern is for sale here or if you want to custom order one send me an e-mail.

The lettering has been tweaked a few times.  I used to piece it together... then I appliqued it together and then stitched the "Public Call" in the center...  the words on the door are printed via my printer.  I liked to stitch a wood grain onto the Tardis...
