Sew Wot Tuesday

 I was the hostess this week so I didn't have to venture out in the wet weather, just wait till the guests arrived.  Two of our friends couldn't make it so there were just 5 of us this time.


Heather, Jude, Helen and Carol

Show and tell is always exciting, so nice to see what the others have been busy making,  Carol had knitted another baby woolly set for donation, a warm and cozy vest and matching teddy in orange yarn for some lucky little baby to take home from hospital.

Helen brought along a couple of house blocks she had made for the quilt club challenge. There are all sorts of details in these.   Ooops, the photos won't turn around.

Heather had found an assortment of cat fabrics trucked away which she put together to make a donation quilt.  This is nice and cuddly with a pink fleece backing.  Some cat loving child is sure to love snuggling up with this.

And I had brought out my recently finished children's unicorn cushions I had made.  These will be donated too.

Morning tea was served but I forgot to take a photo.  But I'd made some delicious hot cheese rolls, a South Island delicacy, warm and tasty on a rather chilly morning.  As well as chatting the morning away, most of us were busy knitting and Heather was adding stitches to her pretty pink Kawandi piece, which will eventually get made into a bag.

We had a lovely morning together, and it was so nice to host the Sew Wots here at our home.
