Patterns by
Susan Barmore
of Frowning Francis Folk Art Patterns

Hi. My name is Susan Barmore, I live in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm a 6 in numerology and my sign is Scorpio. My business name is Frowning Francis Folk Art Patterns. I came by this name because of my pleasant disposition and the permanent frown lines I sport. Mom warned me what would happen if I kept frowning all the time, would I listen?

I am in the doll business because dolls are wonderful and strange. Somehow, with their fabric bodies and fiberfill hearts a magical process takes place that transforms them into beings that we actually love. That's the part I like to be in on.
