We’re wrapping up the June Island Batik Ambassador Challenge with hearts full of joy (and maybe a few squeals)! Over the past month, we’ve featured 22 unique and delightful soft toys made with Funky Friends Factory patterns and Island Batik fabric. From penguins and dolls to charming cows and cuddly puppies, these handmade friends had us swooning with every post! We hope you’re inspired to explore all of the adorable 100+ patterns Pauline McArthur is offering on her Funky Friends Factory website and make a new friend – for yourself or someone you love!
All of these cuties will be entered into our monthly contest TOMORROW, July 3rd, where you get to vote for your favorite! One lucky voter will win a prize, and the quilter behind the winning toy will also receive a special reward. Be sure to check out all the entries and cast your vote! Let us know which ones you love the most!
Be sure to visit the Ambassadors’ blogs linked ABOVE the project images to learn more about their process, materials from our industry partners and Funky Friends Factory they used to make their toys.
