Sew Wot Tuesday

Sew Wot Tuesday had rolled around again, and this time we met at Jude's home.  It was good to see Mary again, she is in recovery mode and getting better.  Jude showed us her new mystery quilt, a Kaffe Fasset design in pretty blues.  That will keep her busy for a while.  

Jude was first up with the Show and Tell too.  She had a wonderfully graphic quilt back from the commercial quilter, and what a beauty it was.  I  rather like the way she did the borders too.  There is just the binding to be done, and then it will be going to a grandson.

Helen showed  us   a boy's jumper she had made with interesting patterns in the various stripes.  Well worth a closer look as it was passed around the group.

The only other Show and Tell was mine.  One item was being sent away as a birthday gift, so I won't show that till I know it has been received.  And the other was my recently completed selvedge bag.

There was a lot of knitting going on as we chatted away, and looked through some magazines looking for a new home.  Then the tea trolly was wheeled in, full of tasty goodies for morning tea.

Our delicious  morning tea

We were kept entertained watching the family dog racing around outside through the window, he is a gorgeous  young blue merle Border Collie and full of energy.  He picked up a shoe, and off he went, round and round the front garden.  Then he found an item of clothing, that was just as much fun as the shoe.  Jude was kept busy trying to rescue these items.

It was another lovely morning, thanks so much Jude.  I won't be at the next Sew Wots morning, we will be away on a short South Island trip.

Your description of the dog running off with items made me chuckle. Border Collies are indeed characters.

What nice a show and tell you had! That's a good-looking quilt for a grandson, and the sweater looks like a knitted sampler. I'm thinking it was a good lesson-learning project. As for your selvedge bag... I love it! You did a great job of sorting selvedges by color, for a striking effect, and your use of rick-rack in between blocks suits it perfectly. Great work!
