Patterns
We (Sarah Ottesen and Susan Travis) started designing patterns in 2020 and have enjoyed being inspired by things, places and the people around us. You will notice all of the patterns' titles start with Farmer's. Our parents are the farmers and are a huge part of our lives. They have supported us in all of our endeavors, no matter how crazy the idea!
It has been fun to see what other quilters put together with our patterns. Please share with us your quilts on our Facebook group FDQuilts Projects »
If you notice anything on our patterns that may need corrected, please contact us through our Contact Page »
