Well done to everyone who submitted their bags. Good work to actually get them finished and up there, best laid plans and all, that makes you all winners. Well done to the judges who must have had a VERY hard time choosing between all the talent out there. You have all inspired me to get bagging!

I really didn’t expect to win, especially after seeing the quality of some of the other entries, so this is a real confidence booster for me. [...]
