 Denim patchwork with denim flowers added using my embellishing (felting) machine.  Plus buttons.

Pattern from a book .  My friend, Eileen started this and I finished it off.  It has been sold, but I have made another in different colours.
 A Seminole design.  Originally designed by Seminole Indian Tribes in Florida.  They incorporated their original methods used in making clothes, blankets, etc., into patchwork designs.
 Serendipity block.  I copied this from a you tube video, by Missouri Star Quilting Company.  Their patchwork videos are well worth watching.

Another pattern from Eileen.  This was sold at a fund raising event for The Town's Women's Guild.  Each year they have a chosen charity.  This year it is the Heart Foundation.
