Lunch tote, hand-embroidered
by Ursula K. Le Guin

Take Ursula to lunch. She has embroidered a canvas lunch bag with flowers and foliage, and stitched a dedication and signature on the back. "You can only have lunch once," she says helpfully, "because it isn't washable." (So maybe you'll want to use it as a stuff bag instead.) Inside, you'll find a hand-drawn label from "Ethniklutz Industries," with a fabric care advisory in Ursula's own hand.

A proponent of the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, Ursula holds that "the natural, proper, fitting shape of the novel might be that of a sack… A book holds words. Words hold things. They bear meanings." If you carry your words in a lunch bag, does this mean you are prepared to eat them?

Description: Hand embroidered and appliqued canvas lunch tote with hand sewn signature and dedication, and holographic card, initialed and dated. Five and a half inches wide by eleven and a half inches tall.

Donor level: $750-$1500.

The sack folds closed at the top, and is secured with a velcro fastener. It has a woven carrying handle.
