Moving on from the "Paintstik" Lady to the "Bag" Lady.....today it is Jamie's turn to blog. Jamie Kalvestran's company name is Scrap-Bags and she has a wonderful blog called Ideas and Inspirations. She has a great selection of bag patterns that are very versatile and is going to share a very interesting technique with us today. Her background is very interesting so make sure you go visit her today and comment to be able to win the prize. If you are just starting to blog hop, make sure you visit everybody that has blogged already since we only have one more blogger to go tomorrow.
In honor of our "Bag Lady" blogger today, I decided to put a picture of some of my bags to spice up the post. This is the Runaround Bag and the pattern for it is in the new Fast & Furious book.
See you tomorrow for the last blogger of the hop.
Love the new book and this blog too!

Thank you so much for introducing all the MN designers. They are so talented, yourself included, and they live here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Talent abundant here in our state!
It is no wonder MN has so many wonderful quilt shops. I wonder what state has the most quilt shops and who has the most quilters? Also what state has the most designers who live and work there? In your spare time would you investigate these questions? Right!! LOL
Enjoy the wonderful MN summer!!
Thank you again!

Gudrun,
Since you were the instigator of this blog hop I must say that it was pure genius! I have really enjoyed meeting you and the other creative Minnesotans (original and transplants). I've learned so much that it's hard to pick a favorite!
Heather Mulder Peterson always has fresh and easy patterns, but I loved the introduction to both the painstiks and the reverse dying - things I thought would be above my talents and abilities, but the designers made them sound very doable!
Thanks AGAIN!
Pam

Nú er bara allt að gerast hérna því bókin þín verður pöntuð í dag frá Quiltbúðinni. Verð að sauma þessa tösku...hún er æði...og strandtöskurnar...já og bara allt í þessari bók.
Frábær hugmynd þetta Blog Hop, hef haft mjög gaman að fylgjast með og lært ýmislegt.
Takk fyrir mig.

Hi,
I love the bag and the instructions on dying
fabric. I did this years ago but we have
come a long way. Thanks so much for all the
info and now I will have ideas for the scraps
I have. I can make gifts with all of this.
Good luck in all of your endeavors.
VerJean

I love the blogs! I looked at your site and realized I have some of your patterns to make Post cards!
Your tutorial is very interesting and so well done. I will be checking in again often.

Now that is my kind of bag! Hope I win the book. Thanks for the blog hop and hope there are more in the future. I really enjoyed the tutorials.

Loved the tutorial! I dye my own fabric and do manipulations with it but now I will try this method as you make it seem so easy!
Thank you so much!

Love the bags. Will be able to use a lot of left overs that we never know what to do with. Thanks

All of these tutorials and patterns are fantastic. Will these stay on the various weblogs, or should I be printing them all (I ran out of colour ink at the moment). A friend of mine is away, and I know she will LOVE reading all of these fantastic tutorials.
thanks,

That bag is very cute. I love the fabric you used. Can't believe we are almost done blog hopping-not that I could ever stop now-I see myself checking in with all you gals on a regular basis now that I have developed the "habit." It's a great habit! Thanks!
