Sew Wot Tuesday

Sew Wot Tuesday rolled around again, and this time Heather was the hostess with the mostest.  On arrival, I had to relate my tale of being navigationally challenged, and needed the Sat Nav to get me there safely.  I “sort of” know where I’m going, but ……… it’s better to be safe than sorry. 

There were five of us there today, and it was nice to catch up with Carol again, she hadn't been able to attend recently.   So I got to finally give her a rather belated birthday gift, which I’ve had for a while.  Carol had some rather exciting news, with family recently arriving from overseas for a holiday – it was wonderful to see them after our country had been in lockdown to overseas visitors for so long.

Carol had a whole lot of knitted toys to show she hadn't been idle all this time.  Dolls with beautifully knitted outfits, and cute little animals too.

Carol had also been busy stitching up some of Zola’s donated fabric and had two lap quilts and a pretty little baby quilt to show us, all to be donated.

I had taken along my last pair of socks, previously shown, plus a gift for a family member, so I’ll show that later when it has been presented.

Most of us were busy knitting as we chatted away, except for Helen.  She was glueing down tiny pieces of paper onto fabric for her EPP project.

We enjoyed a lovely morning tea, as usual, including some Easter Eggs, which we were encouraged to take home.  “Take two”, Heather told me, “Robin would like one as well, I’m sure”.  He certainly would.

It was so nice to catch up with the Sew Wot ladies again, there is always plenty to chat about.  Heather had some unwanted fabric on the table looking for a good home, so I took several plain pieces, which would work well with my draw string donation bags, I thought.  Thanks so much Heather, it was a lovely morning.
