There are so many to choose from trying to pick my favortie three is not an easy task. I think so far my favs Funky Friends are Tillie the Tortise, Ozzie the Octupus and the Dog Toys. These are three of the ones I have so far. Though when I get a chance to make some of the others I might find three new favs!
🙂
My top three fabric favs (again so many to choose from0 would be: Amelia, Butterscotch and Rose, and Urban Cowgirl.
My absolute favorite patterns are the horse/unicorn pattern, the Lion and the Panda baby blanket. I made those three and they turned out super cute!
The fabrics, oh wow, what to choose. There are so many…
Top 3:
Central Park 27062-27
Lush DC5384 Grass Flower Bed
Lush DC5386 Pink
Thanks!
Wow, your patterns are amazing!!! I have to say though, my favourites would have to be Ollie & Lolly Owl, Joey Junior Kangaroo and mostly Charlie Cockatoo. That cockatoo is so cool and funky!!! As far as fabrics…Mmmm…how could anyone resist the Rouenneries range by Moda?! Classic elegance. Favs in that are nos: 13524-18, 13527-32 and 13527-23.
I would love to have Reggie Reindeer, Horsey Horse and Unicorn and Ellie Elephant.
I would also love Woodland, A Walk in the Woods and Good Fortune.
Thank you very much
Megan
It was difficult to choose, as I adore all your patterns, but after much deliberation I think my favourites are Mitch Monkey, Dilby Duckling, and Frog Prince Charming. The fabric selection is also huge, I liked central park 27068-14, flower sugar 9226 white, and hullabaloo 32400-24. Thankyou for the opportunity to win!
I like authentic 5417-15, any of the marble fabrics, and hometown 5462-21.

The patterns that I think are very cute are:

Hometown5464-11 Kasmir V32334-14 and Punctuation 21405-11 Thank you for this giveaway..
Have a good Week end
Heidy
It is hard to just pick three fabrics, but I love Ta Dot Teal CX1492, Cherish Nature – 19395-16, and Lush DC5392 Sky Twirling Blossoms. My favourite patterns that I do not already have (I am working my way toward owning ALL THE PATTERNS) are: Kitty Kate, Sammy the Shark, and Artie Aardvark. It is so hard to pick just three!
Ok, so this is like asking someone to choose their favorite child…
The patterns I have to choose in order of which I think my daughters would like the best, so I will say Frog Prince Charming, Lamkins Lamb and Dippy Dinosaurs. The fabrics… oh, the fabrics! So difficult. I will say Central Park 27063-14, Freebird 32241-17 and Metro Market Aqua Strawberries AAK9964-70. Ugh.
Thanks!!
favorite Funky Friends: Randy the rhino, Kitty Kate, and Timmy the T-Rex

Thanks for the chance!!!
My favourite Funky Friends patterns are Calico the signature Bear,
Chrissy Camel and Randy Rhino. My favourite Fabric Patch Fabrics are anything from the Hunky Dory, kashmir and Lush range. They are all truely lovely patterns and fabrics, to pick just three was very hard.
Thank You
Carol
What a fun way to start my morning…wishing for fabric and fun toys!
I have grandson’s… so Timmy T-Rex is a big Favorite, Dilby Duckling…too cute, and I love Ollie and Lolly Owl!
Fabric choices…hmmmm, I love the Marbles Moda basics,Lily and Will, also by Moda and Puttin on the Ritz, how beautiful!
Thank you for the opprotunity.
So hard to decide and I have quite a few already, but of those I don’t have I love: Lamkins, Larry the Lion and Patty the Cow and the fabric so many but for now: Butterscotch & Rose 20171-13, Butterscotch & Rose 20176-13 and Cherish Nature 19397-13
How can I possibly pick only 3 favorite patterns? So many terrific friends to choose from!! OK, which one do my kids want next to add to their collections?
– Dilby Duck, Petunia Pig, Tillie the Tortoise
Favorite fabric (not fair to ask a fabriholic that question!)
– Just Wing It, Meadow Friends, Tend the Earth
Thanks!
For the Patterns I love making softies for babies so I would have to say Lamkins Lamb, Baby Bunny Rabbit and Tilly the Tortoise. They are all scream “baby” to me and with different colours for girls and boys could come up with some gorgeous pressies for my friends who are currently pregnant (they all seem to get pregnant all at once so I have a few that I still need to make).
For the fabrics I have two girls so I tend to like the girly designs. I like the Amelia range (the colour palette are my absolute favourite and the patterns of flowers and that Bali style leaf are gorgeous) , The Lush range in particular both The Lush DC5382 Raspberry and Turquoise (they are just so bold and pretty with the flowers), and the Hushabye range in particular the intricate leaf wallpaper style designs. Oh the things I could attempt to do with any of those fabrics!!! (note the word attempt in there since I haven’t as yet ventured down the quiltmaking path but would love to try!)
I love Jake the Puppy, Honey the teddy and dibly Duckling. The fabrics are gorgeous and I love Birds of Norway, Hometown and Lecien.
Thanks
Wow, this is a very difficult decision! I guess my favourite Funky friends patterns are Lamkins lamb, Calico the signature bear and baby bunny rabbit. (That was hard!)
Favourite Fabric Patch fabrics… Hmmm… Only 3? Then it’ll have to be:
Flower Sugar 9226 Blue by Lecien, Hideaway 250 41-16 by Lauren & Jessi Jung, Hullabaloo 3240 2-11 by Urban Chiks.
Now that was FAR from easy! 🙂

I get to select the toys and she loves them all, the little bear that got me started, the scarry monsters (not very but the diamond strip on the dinosaur makes it look scarry) and her favorite little miss kitty cat. the best part I know what is in them and can really sew the seams tight.
thank you for letting me bragg about the easy to use patterns, the results look great and last a long time.
Bailey and Me, Dianne R.

OMG… how hard is this? my choices… and why:
– Monsters Mix and Match – since my sons both had a set of twins 8 months apart, I always have tons of scraps and I am always looking for a way to use them up.
– Lambkins – the twins all still love to cuddle and carry small dolls and animals
– Horsey – 1 set of twins is horse CRAZY
– City Weekend – how glorious are the prints?
– Lush Sunny – 1000s of ideas running around in my head for that fabric
– Ta Dot (anything) – who doesn’t love polka dots!
I will NEVER sleep tonight thinking about all the possibilities !!
Oh I love all the patterns, but if i must choose.. I would say the Panda, lamb, Owlie Owl. fabric: lilly & will, walk in the woods, reunion ;0).
My fav. are randy, Charlie, and patty the cow.
I like The Lamkins Lamb, Mitch The Monkey, and Patty the Cow. They are so cute!
I am in love with the Dream On fabrics, Fresh Flowers is pretty, and so is Oasis.
I’ve been having just a wonderful time navigating around the fabric website trying to select fabric. My usual favorites are whimsical kinds, with animals involved somehow too. There are a lot of great choices, and I was trying to match up fabrics that go with my favorite patterns too. Zoology would look great on Kiki or Larry. I have many of the patterns and numerous favorites too.
So to narrow it down I chose:
1. Kiki Koala
2. Larry the Lion: I LOVE HIM
3. Horsey Horse/ Unicorn

Wow! How can I choose?? My daughter and a Canadian girlfriend are coming home for 2 weeks in May and I would love to make them an Aussie Funky Friend to take back with them to remember us by. So….. My favourite Funky Friends Factory patterns would have to be Charlie Cockatoo, Kiki Koala and Joey Junior Kangaroo. All of Fabric Patch’s fabrics are beautiful (what more could you want?) but for these animals I would have to choose from Bella Solids, Marbles and for a bit of pzazz Ta Dot. Can’t work out how to add a photo but maybe that’s not such a bad thing!!!! I sew better than I look!!
I found you website and tried Honey to give to a friend as a gift to celebrate the arrival of her first born. She is sooooooo adorable I almost kept her for myself.
I would love to have a go at making Baby Bunny Rabbit, Ellie Elephant and Larry the Lion are also very cute – actually it was really hard to list just three.
The fabrics I love include all from the Dilly Dally, Hushabye and Sunkissed ranges.I wish I had an endless supply of money and could buy everything!!
You ladies have a fantastic website and I will definitely be sharing with my Mum in New Zealand. Keep it up.
Very difficult to pick favourites, but I think my favourite fabrics must be Hometown, Meadow Friends and A Walk in the Woods. I really like all of your patterns, so picking favourites is very difficult. But since I have to pick three, it must be Ollie & Lolly Owl, Horsey Horse & Unicorn and Raff the Giraffe. (my grandchild loves giraffes)
So great of you to organize a giveaway, this is my first participartion in a giveaway ever, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🙂
Best wishes Heidi
I’ve had to limit myself here, but I love Steve the Croc, which I’ve made for the Prep children at school to take home on the weekends and journal their adventures with. Lambkins I made with my eldest daughter and we had a ball doing something together just the two of us! And I can’t wait to make the Sugar Plum Fairy this year for Christmas! And the fabric ranges – so hard to know where to start. I love the ‘Amelia’ range, ‘A Walk in the Woods’ and who can resist ‘Bliss’?
Hard to choose but 3 favourite designs are:
1. Larry the lion
2. Stu the sea turtle
3. Mitch the monkey,
Favourite materials:
1. Little apples
2. Max and whiskers
3. Grow with me.

With all the fabulous patterns you have created Pauline it is such a hard choice but I think my 3 favourites would have to be Preston Polar Bear, Dilby Duckling and Ellie Elephant.

I really love ‘Funky friends’ as the patterns are easy to make and result in fantastic toys that look professional but are home made. I have made the elephant, rhino, gekko and the honey bear and have reciently purchased the dragon, dog and monkey so will be making them shortly. My favourite three are the rhino, elephant and the dragon. Also being in England the instant download of the pattern is brilliant. My favourite patterns are honey honey, oh la la and bungle jungle.
Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
