Yep, finally!
This whole pile has to be delivered this afternoon for a local order. After that is done I will post a pattern price and purchasing info. Look for it later today.
IN THE MEANTIME, to thank all of you who have been so supportive and patient as I took this project from an idea to paper to a sample to revisions to many trial runs to hours and hours of pattern writing, I will be giving away THREE patterns. Leave a comment on this post and I will draw three names. Comments will be open until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, tomorrow - Tuesday, November 4.
Check back later today for purchasing info.
P.S. Don't forget to vote!
I enjoy reading your blog. I hope the patterns sell well. Your bags and style are great.

I can't wait to purchase one of your patterns. It is going to fly off your shelves. I'd love to win one too so I can give it to another stitching friend. Good luck.

I've been thinking about making some of these for the kids since they seem to lose their lunchbags so quickly. Bet they'd love one of these!

This bag looks so cute. I can't wait to try to make one. I am glad you started blogging again. I used to read your blog around a year ago. I just made a table topper for fall like you made last year with the Fall Back in Time fabric collection. I absolutely adore it. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas on your blog.

I have been eyeballing your lunchbag ever since I found it in a google search! I am not a skilled sewer, just average at best. I would love to make one for myself and my daughter..
I have so enjoyed looking at your bags, your fabrics are just beautiful!
Thanks for the opportunity to win your pattern!
