Sew Wot Tuesday

The Sew Wot group is now back in business after Lockdown, but with being away on our caravan trip, I had to miss the first two meetings.  But I was there today, and it was so nice to catch up with everyone again.  Moira was the Birthday Girl today, and she was showered with lots on interesting little parcels, and beautiful cards.  We watched with interest as she unwrapped each one, it was rather like Christmas morning!  Pretty fabric and sewing items, a coffee cup full of goodies, and plants for her garden.

Happy Birthday, Moira

There was such a lot of Show and Tell.  Our hostess Carol had been busy knitting toys during Lockdown and had quite a collection to show.  They are all so cute – such a lot of work with knitting the clothes and embellishments as well.

Sandra had been rather busy too, and showed us the donation quilts she had made recently, all beautiful.  I loved these two designs, such clever ideas working with squares.

This Eye Spy quilt was also destined to be a donation quilt, but the ladies talked Sandra into keeping it for her new grandbaby, due soon.  A much better idea, a quilt from Grandma, made with love, all ready to present to the new baby.

Mary had finished a heart quilt each for her granddaughters, same pattern but in different colourways.  Oops, looks like I only got a photo of one of them, but take my word, they were both gorgeous.

Helen had two knitted projects al done, a wooly hat for a friend and a cozy scarf -  I encouraged her to model her creations for a photo shoot. Doesn’t she look well protected from the winter chills! Helen was also working on an EPP project, Lucy Boston.  I really admire the ladies who can do this sort of work, sadly, it’s much too fiddly for me.

And Heather was working on her pre-printed  Sashiko stitchery, taking the colours from a lovely piece of gifted fabric she will be using for the border.

We had a lovely spread for Morning Tea, including scones with jam and cream, so yummy.

 

Before we departed, Heather reminded us that she was hosting the next Sew Wots morning, and don’t forget to bring along a finished item using the cat block she gave us ages ago.  I certainly had forgotten, and had to rush home and find it – luckily I did have an idea of what I wanted to do with it.  So that's what I’ll be starting this afternoon.  It will be fun to see what the others do with their cat blocks at our next get-together.
