I had so much fun making this blanet.
A design popped into my head for a quilt for Cam and the ideas flowed thick and fast.
It started with the concept of Graham's profile bottom left, with a telescope in the centre panel, looking at Cam as an astronaut in the top right corner.
I found some glow in the dark material on line, and some space themed polar fleece locally for the back, and got creative with my embroidery.
Each square had a theme. I used images and processing them with my embroidery software made them into embroidery files. I added swirls of quotes, and embroidered clusters of stars as filler.
Here we go:
Graham's profile panel
The Telescope panel
For Astro Cam I embroidered his body and printed his head from a photo of him in a space costume, onto material which I sewed on the body, then decided to make a 3-D helmet which attached, but could be removed for washing.
The Helmet is complete with a clear plastic face cover.
Important for breathing in space.
With the 3 D hemet on.
The Glow in the Dark Material
Elwood of course, and a sign to the star that was named after Elwood's Ball
A general space panel
The polar fleece backing
Put it all together
Quilted and backing on
I think Cam approved
