A Quilt of David Tennant T-Shirts


You're probably thinking, "what is she on about now?! " But, before you pass judgement on this, just give me a minute to explain this latest idea, which I can't take credit for. Unfortunately.
Because it's soooo brilliant.

As you may know ( or may not know, or may not care, which also may be the case.), Bonham's Auctionhouse in London, England is having an auction this month of 166 lots of all sorts of Costumes and Props from the Dr.Who series ( current and classic) in order to raise money for the upcoming series.
Browsing through the online catalog I spy lot #5. The only thing I could probably afford to bid on:

" The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant), Unknown Episodes, Series 2 - 4 A collection of miscellaneous T-shirts,
Estimate: £120 - 180
There is a special collection notice for this lot. Please contact us for further details." ( no photo)

My first thought was "who'd want to own a bunch of mankey old Gap t-shirts, even if they are David Tennant's, and what would you do with them anyway?" So, on I went perusing the catalog looking at all the things I couldn't afford.

Anyway, I happened to mention this to a fellow knitting friend, who is a writer and a science fiction fan. "Well," she says, "you could always make them into a quilt."

A quilt...of David Tennant t-shirts...phwoar!!
