My Tote Runneth Over



When it gets too hot to sew in the afternoon, I pull out my granny squares to work on. They live in this beautiful knitting...err...crochet tote that Cindy made for me. My yarn and granny squares LOVE it. It has roomy compartments both inside and out.


Perfect side pocket.....take a break and have some (iced) tea!!

It looks like time to turn these blocks into something!!

Sneak peak of my Marmalade Wall hanging



And because I'm about to start an embroidery project (cause I don't have enough projects going on) I "collected" these adorable union jack scissors to go in my new purse
Lucy is having a fantastic embroidery giveaway over at her blog. If you hurry, you might just make it!
One last item, lest anyone think I'm not sewing away in the cool of the morning! Here is one of my Summersville blocks. I'm very excited about this quilt! I'm using all the colorways...green, orange, black, turquoise and red!




Have a super weekend! It's almost here! xoxo

Oh, you have a bunch of grannies there that live very well in your very nice tote and your Summersville blocks are delicious!
I still have a week left of vacation and enjoy the fully, but the only thing I wish is that we had some warmer weather.
Wish you a super weekend too!

Like the granny squares; like the tote; like the quilt and the quilt block. Union Jack scissors? How cool they are! Didn't even know they were being made. They look like they may be Gingher. Are they?
