Charm-pack purse
While traveling in northern Minnesota this spring I purchased a charm-pack filled with purple, green, and brown fabric squares. My momma’s favorite color is purple so I figured I would make something for her from it. She had asked a number of times for a new purse so I decided to use the charm-pack and make a purse from it. I cut the blocks down to 4 1/2 inches arranged them how I’d like them for a purse. I was only 3 blocks short for the entire purse so only part of the lining is made from my fabric stash – the rest of the quilt (including the handles which used four squares each) was made from the charm-pack.

Summer huck weaving
Over the summer I have been working on doing some huck weaving. I like to keep a stash of baby gifts laying around so I was working on huck-weaving some bibs. On the blue fish baby bib I used a book-mark pattern on hereandabove.com to try something new. I used pearl-cotton thread and I thought it worked nicely.
Pink heart bib
Blue fish bib.
This is the pattern I was thought when I first learned to huck weave. It really nice and handy for doing in all kinds of colors.
