Passport to Minnesota Designers at Quilt Market

Passport to Minnesota Designers was a huge success!

We had a 300 seat room for our schoolhouse presentation and it was almost completely full!
Many thanks to the Quilt Shop Owners who attended.

Here are just a few of the give away items from the designers.

International Quilt Market - Scrap-bags™ - Spring 2010

Thanks to those of you who stopped by my booth at Quilt Market in Minneapolis. I am delighted with the reception you gave my two new patterns! If you'd like a three minute peek at my booth and new products please have a look at the video below. My best to you, Jamie.

New Buttons Bows & YoYo's Quilt Pattern from Scrap-bags™

The Buttons Bows & Yo-Yo's Quilt - This is a fun one! Easy piecing for the simple bow tie design creates the base of the quilt top, then you add easy applique buttons (circles) using fusible interfacing. To top it off you have the option of adding Yo-Yo's to the center of the circles. The patterns has instruction for three sizes - Lap, Twin and Queen. Note: The Pattern cover shows a cropped view of the actual quilt. #1001 BBYY - Retail cost $9.00.

For both patterns this one and the Bayport Bag - Instructions for how to make Yo-yo's the old fashioned way are included. Or you can use the Clover 60mm yo yo maker.

Can you tell, I got into the "Yo-Yo" thing?

Anyway, I know you will love these patterns. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.

Both patterns are ready to ship now!

I will be attending Spring Quilt Market next week wish me luck!

This sewing pattern is available for immediate download at my online Shop.

New Bayport Bag pattern from Scrap-bags!

The Bayport Bag - This bag was designed by me just for me! I wanted a bag that had easy access interior pockets, (without having to open the bag), one for my cell phone and one for my keys. I also, wanted a bag that was large but not bulky. With this pattern you make the quilt sandwich and quilt it BEFORE you do anything else. You also bind it just like a quilt. There is also an optional Yo-yo detail. #1002 BPB - Retail cost $9.00

The Pattern is ready to ship NOW!

PATTERN TESTER TESTIMONIALS: The Bayport Bag

"I'm not a quilter, but found this bag easy to sew. I love the way it fits on your shoulder and the shape allows you to carry lots or not, with the bag still looking great!"
~Tracy Krueger

"I have never been a pattern tester before and it was an awesome experience. Jamie's bag was fun and big enough to hold an entire project or just use as a cool purse! This is a bag that even the beginner seamstress can tackle and be proud of the finished product. Keep tapping your creativity, Jamie! I can't wait for the next one!" ~Sue Seslar

"This was my first time being a pattern tester. I found it to be a very exciting experience. This is a great bag. Large enough for all my stuff, I love the pockets inside, and the yo yo's are just plain fun! Keep up the good work Jamie."
~ Roxanne Baumann

Many thanks to my pattern testers, Sarah Olson, Sue Lyon, & Julie Herman, for testing the quilt. Roxanne Baumann, Sue Seslar, & Tracy Krueger for testing the bag! I couldn't do it without you!

Fabric shown on cover is by Lonni Rossi - Vivianna from Andover Fabrics.
