Day in the Life of an Idiot

 I am just waiting for payday to send off my newest Star Trek Pride quilt. This one is forbcholmes, our ship's captain. The important thing to know about BC's character is that Captain Taryn is inordinately fond of our shuttle craft(s,) but one in particular, an Argo-class shuttle we call the "Grace Hopper." I wouldn't say she'd quite sacrifice our crew for this, but... there have been a few close calls. ;-) !!

This was done with the heat transfer sheets and I'm both pleased with the results and also worried about how quickly they might crack or fade. So, BC! When you get this be careful it--also if it ever does become sad and cracked, we'll make arrangements for me to take it back and I will attempt to figure out how to replace that panel. I could potentially applique over it, if need be.

Here's what the whole quilt looks like:

The flipside did not photograph very well, but it is a very fuzzy, warm flannel with an applique commander's badge from OT. What is less clear in the picture, but hopefully will be appreciated is that the edging of the quilt is this amazing early Klingon-era gold pattern. I should have taken a close-up of it before I packaged up the quilt. Alas. Maybe if you expand the photo and then enlarge one of the edges you can see how perfectly Old Trek it is.

As always these are very amateur attempts. Not everything is straight (but then neither is our crew! Ha, ha!) But I did my best and I did it all with love for all of the people I play with, the game, et al. I have one more to complete, having intentionally saved the friend I have known the longest in that group, jiawen (our first officer) for last. 

Speaking of this group, our GM had to cancel and I am hoping to talk my friends into letting me run a quick Star Trek: Adventures one-shot for them on Saturday. I suspect everyone has already gone on to make other plans, but I'm going to prep, anyway, since if not this time, then some other.
