to see the winner!

 

Buzz buzz 🐝. Look at this adorable version of Bumble the Bee! Jennifer Oswald McCann sewed up this happy humming friend with yellow dot minky and a grey trellis pattern. I love how any combo of yellow, black or grey works on this pattern!

I bet these two Lamkins Lambs sewn by Crystal Porvaznik are going to twins or siblings. A fluffy Lamkins is always a popular baby gift.

When a child asks for a “cheetah-unicorn”… well, that request calls for a custom toy! Carol Fuller made this unique version of Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn for a lucky little friend, and I’m sure that child will always remember this gift! .

Here’s a fantastic “first Funky Friend” from Kathy Pearce. She sewed the Digger Dachshund Pattern to be a pin cushion, but said she can’t stand to stick pins in him, so he just sits next to the sewing machine to watch her sew 😀. Look at that face! No wonder she can’t use any pins.

Kris Hills made this adorable version of the Panda Baby Ning Pattern. She look so happy attached to a bamboo tree! It may be indoors, but Ning isn’t picky 😊.

Isn’t this just a perfect William Whale by Teri Wolff? I love the fabric combo of bright blue batik and stripey chest – a swimmingly perfect choice!

Ixoria Tenuis said she needed a little vacation so she sewed up two Stu Sea Turtles, laid out some blue fat quarters on the floor, and had a virtual trip to the seaside! I love the fabric she chose for Stu and her great creativity.

Not only is this Punju Peacock sewn by Cathy Cuthbertson my favorite color (purple!), it has an adorable story. I’ll let Cathy tell it to you:

Congrats to this month’s winner – this version of the Larry Lion Pattern sewn by Judie Flower is certainly a head-turner. Judie says Larry is constantly fluffing his mane to show he has the most luscious locks in the jungle.
