Patchwork 'gonks'


I have just finished my second patchwork gonk this morning from the lovely book "Stitched Toys" by Kate Haxell. I made the pink one for my baby who took one look at it and threw it on the floor so luckily my toddler has taken a shine to it instead. She cuddled it last night in bed which looked very cute.  I made the red/blue/yellow one for a friend who is having a baby in August.
Don't you just love their little smiley faces :)

  1. They are so cute. Great idea too. I'll try to get that book from the library. My four year old has a habit of losing is bedtime toy every six months or so and I'm always looking to make replacements.
