I was a little late getting to meet up with the other Sew Wots today. Why? Because I was waiting at home for one of those new fangled telephone consultations with the specialist. Never had one of these phone consults before, but it seems to be the way of the world now in these Covid times. The phone call was duly received, seems things are tracking well with a follow up needed sometime in the near future, and I was soon on my way, out the door, to meet up with the other ladies.
On arrival, Moira told me that she had just taken the sausage rolls out of the oven, so I was right on time for morning tea. So that worked out well, didn't it.
Morning tea time
There was just a little Show and Tell this time. Carol had been busy making knitted toys, two smaller ones, and a larger gorgeous clown doll. All beautifully dressed, of course. It didn’t seem too long ago when she had brought another group of dolls to show us.

Heather had recently completed a quilt to give to a friend, made with 3in squares and backed with cozy fleece. It certainly does look nice and warm.
Heather’s new quilt
Heather had brought along a pile of donated fabric from a friend for the Sew Wot’s to choose and take home. It was inspected and pawed over as we made our choices, and it all found its way into our bags to be rehomed and recycled.
Then Mary had a handful of envelopes and we each chose one. Inside were the instructions of our Christmas Challenge, and the name of the person (must be kept secret) we were stitching it for. All will be revealed at our last get-together of the year, our Christmas Lunch at one of the local cafes.
In between the chatting and catching up with news, we were all busy with our various handwork. I had taken some knitting along, as had Heather and Helen. Mary was sorting through her box of Lucy Boston hexies, Moira was doing applique, and Carol was busy with her embroidery. What a busy bunch we were.

It was lovely to catch up again today, and see what all these lovely ladies were working on. It’s always a most pleasant way to spend the morning.

What a delicious looking spread your hostess set out for you gals;))
How nice you could meet up and chat and craft. Again lovely works...
Here, we are still self-isolating so I do enjoy your pix of your meetings and doings.. thanks for sharing ;)))
Hugs, Julierose
What a fun group you all make. We long to be able to get together and sew or chat or. . . I’ve taken charge and meet with two groups of friends via the computer. One is a small local group. The other are friends scattered hours away from each other. And I usually chat on the phone with my BQF — my best quilting friend. She lives a 6 hr drive away. Loved the knitted dolls. I did a small bear a while ago but slacked off before clothes were made. Sigh. Take care and enjoy your friends.
Your group looks and sounds wonderful and I always enjoy seeing the items for show and tell.
I was happy to see Sew Wots pop up in the list! Oh how we hate to have to deal with these phone folks...Tony with his hard of hearing issue often has to put me on the phone to hear what they are saying and then I can't answer their questions so we have sometimes an hilarious dialogue with 3 of us on the call.
Lovely photo of the gals there and your lunch too. Always great to see the projects of course.
You timed your visit well arriving as morning tea was served....😁
Cute knitted dolls and a nice bright Quilt for show and telll.
The knit dolls are sweet, but much too fiddly for me to attempt. I long for the days when I can have friends in my home again. COVID cases are on the rise in my community.
If I lived near you I'd be wanting to join your group. It looks so much fun and I love the items you all create
Morning tea looks delicious. It is to be able to meet again as a group.
Sew much fun. Love the dolls and the quilt.
God bless.
You are such a busy lot. Lovely to see you getting together.
