With being in Level 4 Lockdown, then in Level 3 over the last few weeks we are now at Level 2 finally allowing our Sew Wot get-together to happen. Heather kindly offered to host our morning at her home, as it was roomy enough for us all to spread out. Not only was she a very gracious hostess, but she had made a range of rice bags for charity, and we were encouraged to take one home each. Thanks so much, Heather. As per usual, I took a while to make up my mind, do I want this one, or that one? They all looked so pretty it was hard to choose.
Rice filled hot bags galore
With so much time in lockdown recently everyone had plenty of stitching time, show and tell was full to bursting! Sandra had finished her Mystery quilt, and Helen had made a pretty pink HST quilt.

Sandra had been busy working with squares and rectangles. The first quilt was assembled for the quilt club charity donation, and the next she was making as a gift.

Heather had made a gorgeous quilt from vintage hankies, shaping them into butterflies, so pretty. I had never seen this design before and would be a wonderful way to use up and display those precious family hankies.

Carol had been busy too. She had brought along a teal coloured quilt top, and an assortment of cute knitted toys. She really is the knitted toy expert in our group and gave Heather a few pointers during our morning together.

Helen had been busy knitting too, and had made quite an assortment of baby beanies to be donated to Wanganui Hospital. Plus a very cozy pair of booties with soft leather soles.

Everyone loves Kaffe Fasset fabrics, and Helen had completed this lovely quilt top using his big bold florals. I think this one is going to a family member,.

And what about me? I had taken a bag of donations along, clearing out the final items in the bottom of the carton I had received when my elderly neighbour was moved into a rest home. And I had some donation items to show, more about them later when I send them off.
As Heather had offered her home for Tuesday’s get-together (it should have been at my much smaller house) everyone took along a plate of goodies to share for morning tea. What a feast we had! We never leave these functions hungry! As previously stated, we are sometimes called “The Eat A-Lots”
It was so nice to finally meet up again with the Sew Wot Ladies, and all going well, we will do it all again in two weeks time.

What lovely finishes and that "spread" of goodies looks just yummy...hugs, Julierose
isn't it nice that all of us can keep busy when we are told we mainly need to stay home and away from others. I rarely ever get bored
Rice bags are wonderful for soothing aching muscles and for warming chilly feet. I use mine a lot in the Winter. It’s impossible to pick a favorite out of all the beautiful show and tell items.
So many beautiful finished quilts and those knitted items are lovely.
As you said a delicious spread you all had....
I'm thinking about that bush in your last post and wondering what kind of lilac it would be. So pretty.
It's always interesting and fun to see what the Sew Wots are up to. Loads of wonderful projects and I like to get ideas of how to border blocks...that always stumps me.
How nice you are together again. All good here in Ontario too, fingers crossed!
So many gorgeous projects, I am always so amazed at how artistic everything is.
Things are getting bad here. My province is thinking triage. Poor doctors, I really hope that it does not come to them having to decide who lives and who dies.
God bless.
How wonderful to all get together again. Everyone has been very productive with beautiful projects. Thanks for sharing.
How wonderful that your pandemic level continues to improve, and that you could get together with your quilty friends. Looks like everyone has been productive in the sewing room, and in the dessert kitchen! :-) Yay for getting to spend time with Eat-a-Lots!
It is so good that you are all able to catch up again. Bet there was lots of chatting.
