In English:
When visiting many quilt shows, my wife has pointed to me many beautiful, tote bags, hand bags, shopping bags and toiletry bags saying: “Look at how beautiful”. In this post I collected some of them together. The are some among them which she made years ago. I have to say that I love these unique bags also.
En español:
Al visitar muchas exposiciones de almazuela, mi esposa me mostró muchas hermosas bolsas de mano y bolsas de aseo diciendo: “Mira cuán hermosas”. En este post recogí algunos de ellas juntos. Entre ellas hay unas que ella hizo hace años. Tengo que decir que me encantan también estas bolsas únicas.
En francais:
Lors de la visite de nombreuses expositions de courtepointes, ma femme me montrait beaucoup de beaux sacs à main et sacs de toilette en disant: “Regarde comment belles”. Dans ce post, je recueillais certains d’entre eux ensemble. Il y a quelques-uns d’entre eux elle faisait il y a quelques années. Je dois dire que j’adore ces sacs uniques aussi.

It will take me several viewings to fully take in all that you have presented!! So beautiful! I will be reblogging this so that my readers may share in this visual treat. Thank you so much!!!! Hugs, Doreen

Your photos present such beautiful creativity and such art is a bright start to a dreary, overcast day (here in S.E. MN). Now, off to quilt!!!!! Blessings…….

Wonderful examples of beautiful and unique Finnish designs! Loved them!!
Comment by tiny lessons blog — July 26, 2013 @ 16:16 |
These are beautiful bags — the creators obviously have a lot of talent. My wife would like the bag decorated with roses, and you showed several bags with cats that my daughter would love.

¡ Que variedad de bolsos y que colores! Fantástica colección.
Saludos y feliz verano
Comment by trapatroles — July 26, 2013 @ 18:09 |
Your pictures are beautiful – the colors and patterns are really unique! I would like at least one of them for myself… 🙂
Comment by megtraveling — July 26, 2013 @ 18:20 |
A lot of creativity and craftsmanship has gone into these bags, Sartenada. Some of them could fetch a pretty penny, as we say!
Comment by Ginnie — July 26, 2013 @ 18:25 |
What a cool way to show off one’s quilting skills. Thanks for a lovely Friday treat, Matti!
Comment by Heart To Harp — July 26, 2013 @ 19:07 |

Comment by 76sanfermo — July 26, 2013 @ 19:55 |
There are some lovely ones.
Comment by Tokeloshe — July 26, 2013 @ 23:14 |
Those are remarkable! They are not only beautiful and useful craft pieces but speak so well of those who created the designs and executed the making of them.
Comment by montucky — July 27, 2013 @ 03:51 |
Hello Matti,
Tu nous montres une sacrée collection, et certains me plaisent beaucoup. J’adore les sacs à mains, mais me force à ne plus en acheter car c’est le sac-photo qui finalement me suit partout !!
Bises et bon week-end.

Nice collection of ladies totes and bags handcrafted by some talented people.

I love the bags. they look so pretty.
Comment by Catriona — July 28, 2013 @ 15:25 |
They really are pretty and beautifully crafted.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Your blog had lots of inspirations
Comment by Najlaa — July 29, 2013 @ 13:55 |
What a lovely collection of bags. Thanks for sharing – great inspiration!
I was in Finland in the 70’s – ages ago, and the land really reminded me of home here in Minnesota. My own grandparents are all from Sweden and Norway, and I love Scandinavian crafts.

Hello Mary.
Thank You for the interesting additional information about You when commenting my post so kindly. There has been some bloggers from Minnesota visiting my blog and I am coming slowly more and more curious about Minnesota.
Have a great day!
Comment by Sartenada — July 30, 2013 @ 07:03 |
Hi Sartenada,
Beautiful! There is enough styles and colors for all tastes! I am going to share with a person in my family who quilts!
Cheers!
Comment by xpat92 — July 30, 2013 @ 06:28 |
Qu’ils sont beaux ces sacs et ces pochettes ! Chaque jour on pourrait en changer 😉 selon le temps, le modo, la saison, les sorties…. Félicitations à toutes les artistes et merci au photographe.
Comment by isathreadsoflife — August 1, 2013 @ 19:37 |
Bonjour Isa.
Merci de commenter si gentiment. Je suis heureux que tu les a vu.
Belle journée! Bises.
Comment by Sartenada — August 2, 2013 @ 12:43 |
A must have bag. Unique, creative, beautiful. Quilted bags to me are more personal and valuable than those designer bags. They are a work of Art.
Comment by Island Traveler — August 3, 2013 @ 12:31 |
Excellent photos of the ships and handbags. Sartenada, was that you in red? Lovely photo.
Comment by earthriderjudyberman — August 4, 2013 @ 17:17 |
Hello Judy.
Thank You leaving so nice comment. The lady in red is my beloved wife I am happy that You also love these unique handbags.
Have a great start of this week!
Comment by Sartenada — August 5, 2013 @ 06:58 |
Sorry for the confusion, Sartenada. She is indeed a lovely lady.
Comment by earthriderjudyberman — August 5, 2013 @ 13:11 |
Hi Judy.
It is okay – no confusion. The main thing is that You love my photos.
Happy Monday!
Comment by Sartenada — August 5, 2013 @ 13:22 |
Beautiful quilts – and a wonderful range of styles. I really enjoyed seeing them.
Comment by kuwaitquilter — February 1, 2014 @ 10:46 |
Hi Kuwaitquilter.
I am happy that You loved my photos. Quilting is universal; quilts are artwork, needs brains, planning, persistent and excellent knowledge of colors.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 1, 2014 @ 11:56 |
I see I commented on this post a year ago, but I had another look as they are all beautiful, it would be difficult to choose, great photos very inspiring. I love the combined patterns.
Comment by Tokeloshe — July 24, 2014 @ 21:55 |
Thank You again seeing lakes in Finland, Tokeloshe.
