I have done various forms of sewing in the past, especially cross stitch, but a couple of years ago I started patchwork and have found it a satisfying way of being creative. Here are a few of the cushion (pillow) covers and other items I have made, in both embroidery and patchwork. 
New Celtic Cross cushion covers-this fabric is not made any more, I have bought a stock of it, but gone is gone!

Latest project, I covered our bedspread with Celtic fabric
that turned out so very cute! I am honored to have my birds in the middle!
