Heather was the hostess at our latest Sew Wot Tuesday on a miserable and wet morning. Our Spring weather here can be very changeable, hopefully it will settle down soon with nice sunny weather. Heather showed us the donation gifts she had made for children, two placemats and some lovely bright pillowcases.

I had taken my recently completed Rugby quilt to show everyone.
We all know that Carol enjoys creating cute little knitted dolls, and she had a new one to show us. This one is Daphne Dabble the Painter, complete with her painters palette and brush. Carol had also just completed a Block of the Month quilt from Cherry Pie quilt shop. This one had been put aside for a while so she is pleased it is now finished and no longer a UFO, and will be gracing the bed in the guest bedroom.
Carol new finishes
Both Helen and Mary work working on an EPP project by Tula Pink. They were both stitching away industriously, and enjoy this sort of hand work, they said.

Heather was sick of knitting socks, she declared, so was now working on a pretty little baby’s jacket. And Moira was stitching away on her Bluebird of Happiness panel.
There were some lovely birthday parcels for me to unwrap and exclaim over. Fabric, a label, and thread, and cheese, crackers and chocolate! Didn't I do well! Thanks so much everyone.
Birthday gifts
“I've made a cake for your birthday”, Heather said, as we went into the dining room for Morning Tea. It was delicious, a lovely rich fruit cake. The Sew Wot ladies always produce such wonderful spreads to share.

Heather was determined that her female cat was going to come and say hello to all the ladies. But no, puss had other ideas and just wanted to get away and hide from all these people in her home!
That cat is not happy
It was another lovely Sew Wot morning. Plenty to talk about, some stitching and knitting, and good companionship. Thanks so much for being the hostess, Heather.

Lovely projects. Great that you had your finished quilt to share.
And how special to have another cake to share for your birthday.
Wha t a lovely time you have with these creative ladies.
Aren't you lucky to belong to such a wonderful sewing circle? When my Mom was alive I used to visit her Sewing Gals group and it was such fun...most of them were knitters; but Mom and i quilted projects...
Love those EPP projects--and all the ladies' works look beautiful
thanks for sharing...
hugs, Julierose
What a lovely day with your sewing partners. I see you have finished your rugby quilt. Good for you.
Lots of lovely gifts and what a tasty spread was put on.
God bless.
you have made out for your birthday quite well - it seems it has been a month long celebration :)
the cat looks huge
The variety of projects always intrigues me. I really like the layout of Carol’s sampler quilt. You have a nice circle of friends.
Happy belated birthday! Your group has some very pretty projects in the works. Happy stitching this week.
A belated Happy Birthday Jenny..
Your "Sew Wot" ladies always make beautiful projects.
You received lots of birthday goodies and a delicious spread for your birthday
Hi Jenny, lovely posts and always fun to see what the Sew Wots have been up to. Love that BOM quilt. Meanwhile, your birthday has been well celebrated that's for sure.
Loved the photo of the campers fireside...happy times. And thanks for sharing those photos of the Rivendell. I may not have said but the farm we lived at was called Rivendell...Tony named it over 40 years ago after being so impressed with the books. I read them while living in isolation on the coast of Labrador teaching. Of course, adored the movies. New Zealand is so beautiful.
Happy belated birthday! Love to see what your sewing ladies have been up to, beautiful projects. (thank you for your comment on my blog!)
