It’s been a long-time dream of mine to go to the Birmingham Festival of Quilts<\/strong> in the UK…<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0and what a FUN roller-coaster ride of a trip it was!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had a blast hanging out with my UK distributor of Funky Friends Factory patterns, Oh Sew Sweet Shop<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0at the show! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND had fun meeting so many existing Funky Friends Factory fans, getting to know some NEW ones too!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I ALSO got to meet some FAMOUS people ~ including Stuart Hillard<\/strong> from the Great British Sewing Bee!!! \ud83e\udd29<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stuart<\/p>\n

Stuart Hillard was on the first season of The Great British Sewing Bee in 2013<\/strong>. He appears regularly on TV,\u00a0 writes Sewing & Quilting and designs fabrics for The Craft Cotton Company.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His latest fabric collection – Blue Skies & Nutmeg by Stuart Hillard<\/strong> – combines deep blues, mustard yellows, warm neutrals and cute patterns including florals, stripes and… wait for it…<\/span><\/p>\n

CHICKENS!
\n\ud83d\udc14\ud83d\udc14\ud83d\udc14<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For obvious reasons, I think Stuart’s fabrics would be great for my Cheeky Cook \/ Chicken pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BOTH Stuart and I have (REAL) goats – and thought it would also look amazing sewn up with my Giddy Goat Pattern…<\/span><\/p>\n

Click HERE to buy the Goat pattern.<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Goat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think the mustard floral, beige spots and checked creams would work great for my British Bulldog pattern!<\/span><\/p>\n

Click HERE to purchase the Bulldog pattern.<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND I would have fun mixing and matching the blues and mustard hues for the Patch Cat Pattern!\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc99<\/span><\/p>\n

Click HERE to buy the Cat pattern.<\/strong><\/a><\/span>
