Sew Wot Tuesday

 Most of the Sew Wots met at Jude's home this Tuesday, with one lucky lady and her hubby away on an overseas trip.  How exciting, it's been quite some time since we have done that.  After a general catch up, and a look through some magazines looking for a good home, we got down to the always exciting show and tell.  First up was Mary, who had just finished a pair of socks - the sort of socks which let the yarn make a statement.  So pretty in pink and green.

Jude had been busy making crochet cotton dish cloths, aren't they pretty.  They look almost too good to use for dish cloths.

And Heather was justly proud of her selvedge bag.  Which reminds me, I've got one of these waiting to be finished, tucked away somewhere.

Mary had a lovely quilt to show us, made for Ray with stitcheries of his interests, and his quirky sayings.  The backing was made with many New Zealand themed fabrics, full of memories of his life.

What else?  Carol had made a very pretty 1930s baby quilt, these fabrics are always so nice.  Plus a baby singlet, hat and toy set for donation.

As for me, I had brought along a nice wooly pair of socks and some knitted dish cloths, finished a wee while ago.

Then the tea trolly was wheeled morning tea was served.

Thanks so much Jude, for a lovely morning.  There was some discussion about who was the next hostess - oh goodness, it's me.  I had forgotten my turn was next.
