This time Sew Wots was held at Helen's rural property. There was a bevy of cute heifers looking over the fence at me as I came up the drive, watching me with their big soulful eyes. It was nice to see Sandra again, she hasn't been feeling too bright lately. We spent the morning chatting away, as we got on with our various knitting projects. Heather received a couple of belated birthday gifts, so it was exciting seeing the parcels being opened.
So.... what did we have for show and tell. Carol had been busy again, with more knitted toys which will be donated to the Neo Natal Ward.

There were two pair of men's knitted socks to admire, from both Helen and Heather. Both their hubbies seem to have very big feet indeed.

And I had taken my Batik Beauty quilt to show.
I'm very pleased with my batik quilt
Helen then showed us a couple of UFOs she had rediscovered and was working on them again. The first was started in a class at Crazy Cow quilt shop, which has since closed. This is a mixture of piecing and applique and has a real Kiwi flavour, with pukekoes, Maori designs and little lizards. Looks like it is all pinned up ready for some of Helen's clever machine quilting.
This one is so nice
The second one Helen showed us is a Jelly Roll Race quilt top. Very effective indeed, but I must admit that I have never made on of these.

Morning tea was served, and as usual was very tasty indeed. Helen's husband calls us the Eat Alots, goodness knows where he gets that idea from!

Many thanks to Helen for being the hostess for the day, as usual it was a lovely morning.
The next evening I attended the Town and Country Quilt Club monthly. The speakers were a couple who talked about and showed us his beautiful woodturning. And his lovely wife told us about their trip to the Outer Hebrides and her love of the Harris Tweed produced there. My batik quilt got another outing as I took it along for Show and Tell, together with many other items on show by club members.
