The Alligator Bride Hand Sews Star Trek's Finest Crew
Etsy contributor the Alligator Bride aka Elliot McNally has managed to create the ultimate tribute to Star Trek with her stitched sci-fi quilts.
The quilt series features Star Trek's most elite crew; Sulu, Chekov, Uhura, Doctor Leonard, Nurse Chapel and of course, the most notable character, Spock. The Alligator Bride's work is truly crafty. Her ability to stitch the features of each character and capture the essence perfectly makes these Star Trek quilts a Trekkie's dream.
In my opinion, her best work would have to be the Transporter Beam quilt, which features the whole intergalactic gang of Bones, Kirk, Scotty, and Spock. The quilts are the perfect way to snuggle and watch endless marathons of Star Trek on a rainy, lazy day.
