As always happens, life gets in the way. Sewing now became utilitarian – curtains, bedding, cushions etc.
As a Cancerian, material was always “hoarded” so when the patchwork interest resurfaced at the start of the new millennium, there was a basis with which to work.
The start was gradual beginning with cushions as gifts.
Then came a large patchwork bed cover incorporating
leftover fabric from the original Log Cabin jacket.
Next came gifts of patchworks throws personalised with embroidered baby names.
Then, without warning,
the first granddaughter
arrived and to welcome
her, more embroidered
patchwork.
And her first 
Christmas stocking just had to be patchwork.
