You're not a bookworm, you're a book dragon!

Celebrate your love for reading (and/or dragons) with this quality tote bag embroidery kit featuring the artwork of Megan Blackburn of Weird Sisters Wool.

Tote Bag Embroidery Kits are the perfect 'Work In Progress' (WIP), because they are useful from Day One. 
The screen-print design looks good whether you haven't started stitching, or have done a just a little, or a lot! Customize it to your unique style. Practice the stitches you want to learn. Add to it as you want (maybe when you visit a park?). There's no wrong way to work this WIP! 

The tote is meant to be decorated as a sampler, so choose a section of the design, pick a color, and browse the printed stitch guide to find the best stitch for the job. This is great for those who like to do their own thing, or for those who want to challenge themselves to break free from strict patterns.

Need a place to start? IMO that teapot is begging for some cute little lazy daisy stitches (page 9).

Psst... not that this needs calling out but... the zippered project bag is blank (i.e. bonus project space! So much room for craftivities)
