Doctor Who Quilt Update #8


I finally figured out how I'm going to lay out the circular Gallifreyan text images. I intend to cut a wide strip of fabric to attach to the right side of the TARDIS quilt, apply fusible web to the backs of the circles, and fuse them to the strip in a semi-circular pattern. It should be easy, right? A 1-day project. So, I thought today would be the day.

The answer to the earlier question is that it's not as easy as it seems, not when you print your first page of images and realize that you're out of ink! My printer has three separate ink cartridges for color, and they're all low. Sadly, I didn't realize they were low until I printed the first page of images where the tan fabric background came out with some green stripes. I don't remember any green in the Doctor's tweed plaid jacket! So, I'm halted again, waiting for a new order of fusible fabric to be shipped to me (because the page I ruined leaves me without enough pages to print all my images). Tomorrow, I take a quick jaunt to Best Buy to pick up three ink cartridges. Ah well, best laid plans . . . .

I do hope to have the quilt finished for the 50th Anniversary episode on November 23rd at the very latest.
