Sew Wot Tuesday

It was my turn to host the Sew Wot morning this time.  Baking was done the previous day, and then I whipped up a batch of Cheese Puffs (rather like an airy  cheese muffin) in the morning, goodness me, they smelt nice coming out of the oven.  As it was a special day I gave my “Sewing” runner an outing on the coffee table.

Any Day Spent Sewing….

Just a smallish group this time.  Carol started off the Show and Tell with another of her knitted dolls.  This one is Samuel Sprout, the Greengrocer, carrying a basket with veggies in one hand, and a leek in the other.

The only other Show and Tell was from Heather, and she really excelled with her recent finishes.  She had made two bags featuring Kiwi fabric for mother and daughter friends.

Then she had finished her little baby jumper and had enough yarn left to knit two little hats.  Seems there is a family baby expected soon so this knitting has already found a good home.

Heather’s baby knitting

And last but not least Heather had made two rice bags for the Cancer Unit.  These are warmed and placed over the cannula when people are having chemo infusions – I didn't know that, what a good idea.  Plus she made a little Christmas ornament, just because.

That was all the Show and Tell for the morning, no one else had any finishes.  There was a bit of knitting happening during the morning, Heather, Carol and myself were clacking the needles.  Mary was stitching down papers for her EPP project, and Moira was working away on her wool applique.  It was nice to see Helen for a short time, she popped in briefly before heading off to an appointment.  Another very pleasant Sew Wot morning.

Sewing/knitting definitely makes a day special, especially when you can work with friends.

I'm a little envious of your Tuesday meet up with like minded friends. None of my friends are into hand crafts at all. Great finishes and you little runner is so cute and such a true sentiment.

It sounds like a lovely morning at your place. Your table runner was perfect for the occasion. Beautiful finishes, as always for show and tell.

Love the show and tell pieces. That little ornament is so cute.

By the way your runner is gorgeous.

God bless.
