The Patchwork Spirit is the name of the range of original patterns that have been exclusive to Patchworks Unlimited.  These innovative designs are written for easy understanding and are designed to be user friendly and achievable to all levels.  Gael and Pauline are especially aware of making their ideas accessible to their customers in places not necessarily adjacent to a patchwork shop for help or supplies.The designs range from fairly simple and easy, to quite complex and sophisticated, but the instructions are always step by step for ease of application. Their range of original patterns has expanded to include screen printed panels .  These are their own artworks, and are being hand printed by them as they are not available commercially. 

Patchworks Unlimited has an excellent programme of interesting classes and teaching for all levels of patchwork expertise.
