About this Product

Here is hand hooked shoulder bag, of a primitive flower basket.  It was hooked using my hand dyed wool fabric, cut into strips.  I made this several years ago, and had it professionally sewn and lined with matching floral fabric.
Although it was briefly displayed at a few fairs . . . it was never  used and was kept neatly put away. I love the bag's fabric. . . sort of a dusty mauve.
A great gift for a gardening friend.
It measures  13 across by 15 down.  The handle is a sturdy strap type.

Thanks for stopping by!  You can also visit my website for New Earth Designs and Lib Callaway patterns. . .there are over 500 to choose from!  i'm looking forward to 2023. . in April i'm teaching at MD Shores again. . a wonderful ocean front event.  Contact Pam at lpt219@comcast.netAlso there is the ATHA 1 rug school in Sturbridge, MA. . uhookrugs@yahoo.com is the contact email.For  over 50 years, I have been immersed in all facets of traditional rug hooking. . . ..from dyeing to teaching; designing patterns and colour planning them.  From my own  dye formulas, I dye yards over  neutrals, pastels, and textures. . .thus creating hundreds of variations.  Spot dyeing is another specialty, and I routinely keep 200 different ones on hand.  All hooked items are made by hand hooking  strips of  my hand dyed wool that I've chosen for the piece.  Once i choose a  Lib or  New Earth design,  I print it on to a backing, usually linen.  The older ones I've made are on burlap, as that was commonly used until the late 1980's.  The rugs are finished off with wool yarn whipped over cording, and binding tape applied to the back.I first learned to hook in 1971, became a certified teacher in 1979, and have been "on the road"  teaching since 1989.  Hope to meet you soon at a rug school!

Meet the Maker

I have always been attracted by colour and artistry, and enjoy working with fiber, paints, dyes and  wool.  I became a rug hooker in 1971, and for over 30 years it has been my occupation.  As a certified instructor, I travel several times a year to teach this art. . and for it I dye wools, design and print patterns and hook as often as I can!  Here will be finished items for sale, and eventually some dyed wools as well that are currently on Etsy.  And perhaps a few other items as well!
