Felt Critters

Everyone loves a free pattern, but the generosity of Susan from Down East Thunder Farm goes way above and beyond.

Not only are all her patterns free, but they are absolutely and utterly gorgeous.

Her little felt animals, birds and insects are adorable and plentiful and she’s still designing.

Susan encourages crafters to make her patterns to raise money for charity or simply for personal pleasure. Each comes with detailed instructions and fabulous photography and they are so simple, anyone could make them. We can see a zoo in the making here.

One visit to her website www.downeastthunderfarm.com and you’ll be hooked. Here you’ll find Susan’s amazingly warm and personal blog that she frequently updates, and a very useful online store where you can support her endeavours by purchasing kits and supplies and ofcourse her free patterns.

Thank you Susan for creating such delightful designs – we knew we’d fall in love with your work the minute we saw the pattern for Myrtle the Sea Turtle and the photo of her making her way to the ocean!
