Fall log cabin lunch bags... they're done!
 

Just finished eight bags altogether. Glad they're done. Two more bindings on small toppers and I'm 100% done for the craft show that's in two weeks, except for price tags. Now to work on Christmas gifts and the binding on the Back to Nature before the next craft show.

Photos are 1. three bags and 2. their backs--then 3. three more bags and 4. a close up of what is on most backs. (It's the Naples Grape Festival and I was told anything grape/wine like sells well. :o) Then 5. two other patterns and 6. their backs....

My daughter and d-i-l both love the apple bag best, so I'll be making two more for Christmas--not exactly the same, of course. :o

love them all!

nice ...........................my friend just made and gave me one usong scraps and i just love it.:thumbup:

Those are neat you should have greats sales, have you decided what price to put on these?

Love these bags. What is the pattern? Please. Hope you make lots of money. BrendaK

I love them all. Your fabrics are fantastic!!

How cool! Bet you are tired of making them though.

No! I keep getting different opinions. They are more work than a topper... and I sell those for $30-35. Ideas? Suggestions? They are very plain--no pockets. I am going to add hard bottoms though.

YES!! I am!! LOL

WOW!! :D They are all wonderful. I have always loved your work & the beautiful things that you make. I treasure the log cabin doll quilt you made for me, with the floral fabric. It just makes me smile every time I look at it. Thank you for sharing with all of us today & good luck with your sale.
:D :D :D :D

There's no formal pattern for the log cabin ones, but I learned how to make bags using "Easiest Handbags Ever" by Fig Tree Quilts. I made one--then once I had the gist of bag making, I made the log cabin ones. I've made many changes. That's a great pattern to start with. A friend sent it to me, or I probably never would have made a bag.

They look wonderful and perfect for that group. I can't guess at a price because that is not my area of expertise.

nicely done

Oh how neat they are! I wish I was closer, I would go to your show. Good luck with your sales.

Karla those are stunning...I don't think I could chose which one I like best...
BTW...please give lovepats to your herd for me...

These are so colorful, just too pretty.

Fantastic - love them all.

Sch nice colors.

Good luck on your show....very nice stuff!

I gave them muzzle kisses!

These are great! Nice colors.

Naples attendees are lucky to find such an array of beauties!

Oh my I love these lunch bags and they would make wonderful gifts. Have you done a tutorial on them or would you share the pattern name and where you purchased it? Lovely just lovely. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your sales.

Wish I could attend your craft show. Nice work and really nice bags. Hope all of them sell.

If I saw these anywhere I would know who made them .... They are sooo Karla. Good luck on your show! They are pretty and should sell well.

Very pretty. Craft shows have been flops for several years here. I hope you sell everything you take.

These are beautiful! You should have no problem selling them. I would be proud to carry one of these for my lunches. Did you design them? Is the pattern for sale?

These are some wonderful bags !

awesome lunch bags-hope you sell a lot of them

When and where is the craft sale please?

Naples, Sept 29 + 30 if that's the Sat and Sun... :-)

How did I miss this thread?? Karla those are just great. Pricing is sooo hard though. You just never know what the market will bear. And the average shopper really has no idea the amount of work that goes into making the blocks let alone the bags. I would be tempted to put a $40 price tag on them at the show. Or perhaps price them at $45 and put a big sign up that says show special $5 off on bags. Maybe on Saturday you can get a feel for what people are willing to pay and adjust accordingly for Sunday. Pricing is always the hardest thing to decide.

those are beautiful!!

Feline--you nailed what I was thinking. They are very plain (pocekts, etc), but most have convinced me to start at $40. I'll listen to comments and lower to $35 if need be. They are sooo much work. I'll stick to books and toppers. lol

They are all so beautiful. Great job.

I can see you have been having fun. They are lovelyand i hope they get well used.

BEAUTIFUL as is everthing you make!!!! Good luck at your craft show!! It really is sad the way things have gone in the Craft Show venue.....I remember a time when you could do the craft show circuit and make a living out of it!!! Best of Luck oxoxo
