Doctor Who Tapestry - April Update

A quick post to update on the latest progress of the tapestry, but to start with I twittered and posted on Instagram at the start of the month that I had unpicked the tapestry to start again...

Of course it was just an April Fool joke, there was no way I could have unpicked the whole thing in one night.

Meanwhile update on actual progress.

I set to work to stitch the Bus Conductor, also from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

Then when I had finished with him I moved on to a different story, still sticking with the Sylvester McCoy era, this time I headed off to Terra Alpha for The Happiness Patrol. The Kandyman is already on the tapestry but with the colour selection of...

Doctor Who Tapestry - Battle On 2

 As February draws to a close I'm pleased to say I have completed Ancelyn now on the tapestry.

I'm pleased with how he has come out, I'll be honest there was a period about half way when I felt he wasn't going right. This often happens during the work, and it's not until the eyes are finished, usually one of the last parts I do, and the final details are stitched in that the final effect is achieved.

This means we now have five characters on this current working panel all from two Sylvester McCoy stories, "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" and "Battlefield".

The next character is again from the first story mentioned, after this I'll be moving on to another McCoy story, but until then I'll be stitching....

"Any more fares please?...."
