Did you know the MAKER OF THE MONTH wins a FREE Funky Friends Factory Pattern?

Here are some of the highlights from the visitor’s posts…. We’ve had some awesome feedback pics on the Funky Friends Facebook page this month!

Our newest Funky Friend, Gregory Gorilla, looks good in all sorts of color combos. This is Betsy Christman’s orange and purple version of the Gorilla toy pattern.

A more “natural look” suits the Gregory Gorilla toy pattern just fine, too.  I LOVE the simple designs on the grey fabric that Carole Martin used. “Low volume” prints like these are a fun alternative to solid color fabrics when you want to add more “texture” to a toy  made from quilting cotton fabric.

Dinosaur print fabric is always dashing on a Timmy T-Rex, as you can see in this pic of Pat Nash’s version of the T-Rex toy pattern.

Yes, that’s ANOTHER dandy dinosaur toy! Susan Leshinsky reports that she loved making her first fleece version of the Trixie Triceratops toy pattern.

Betty Groocock obviously likes to sew lovely keepsakes! Her pink version of the Dilby Duckling pattern has birth announcement details on the feet.

Leapin’ limes and lemons! Diana Sageser found some nifty neon fabrics to sew her interpretation of the Llama toy pattern.

Jane Tate used the Keep Me Keepsake Bear pattern in three sizes (100%, 75%, 50%) to craft this delightful bear family from baby clothes. (all pics in folder)

Looks like Goldilocks got separated
from her three best bear pals!

    Hi Pauline, Thanks so much for picking my pink cat for Maker of the Month.
    Your patterns are fantastic and a pleasure to make.
    I have in fact just bought 3 more patterns yesterday. But would love the pattern for Gregory Gorilla as my prize.
    Thank you again xx
