Sew Powerful Purses #177-178 for 2025

2 more purses finished for Sew Powerful Purse Project. The one on left was a quilt block I was playing around with for a quilt block contest from 2013 (for Sisters, Oregon Outdoor Quilt Show Block Contest). I didn't want to waste the fabric that I received for the contest, so I used some of my own fabric to test out a design idea I had and then I made the one for the contest in the fabric I was given. I won an honorable mention for the block I made for the contest.

The purse on the right was made with some squares of fabrics I was given a long time ago. I decided to place the patchwork on point and add an appliqué flower that I cut from a circle and a blue flower and red heart appliqué that I die cut out of felt.


This is the quilt block I made for the contest using the fabric that I received to create a quilt block for the contest. The colors show up better in this photo that I took at home before sending it to the contest. Below was taken at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show with the Honorable Mention ribbon attached.

This is the quilt block I made using the fabric I received to make the block for the contest. The ribbon is barely legible, but it does say Honorable Mention at the bottom and July 2013 on it. This Saturday (July 12) is the annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show by the way.

Closer look at the appliqué so you can see the crystals I also added.

I have used this exterior fabric for several purses I made for the purse bodies and I am using up miscellaneous fabrics I have for the linings.
