    I love the gnomes, they would look fantastic as Georgie the Good Luck Elephant! Gnomes are good luck for me so I think the tie in would be perfect!

    I think I would like to make the No Sock Sock Monkey in the pretty Love Monkey Digital Cuddle Scarlet Fabric!!!
    I have ordered your patterns and love all of them. I have several small Grandchildren and just had a GreatGrand Son born yesterday morning and a great Granddaughter due in February so I can use lots of patterns for stuffed toys!

    I would love to make the lion from the Valentine‘s gnomes fabric. My little one loves big cats and gnomes.

    Diggles the Dragon would be my pattern choice using the digital love fabric. His baby dragon wings are the cutest.

    You have so many great patterns, that it’s very hard to decide. If I was to win I would pick something that I could use to make a memory pattern to use my late husband’s shirts to make for my children, grand-children and great grand-children.

    My husband loves books with dragons in it, so I would have to make him a dragon!

    I’d love to make the Dizzy Dolphin in the Always and Forever Scarlett Cuddle. It would be absolutely adorable and huggable.

    There is no way I can pick 1 favourite animal, all your Aussie inspired animal stuffies are amazing. I am Canadian and live in the top Northeast corner of British Columbia, our best friends are Aussie, they live in Tasmania. We have travelled with them all over Tassie and parts of the Mainland – really enjoyed seeing and learning about AU animals. Now as time and funds allow, I would like to make each of your Australian animals.
    Thank you for the wonderful patterns

    I checked out Shannon Fabrics, looks like they only sell wholesale and I couldn’t find any sales points in Canada. Beautiful Cuddle fabrics, double gauze and terry towel.

      Hi Gaile,
      I am sure they would have a wholesale customer in Canada somewhere who could ship to you? Maybe contact Shannon via their website or Facebook Page and ask? 🙂
