Coming home from our recent Safari trip away, I had to convince Robin that we really didn't need an extra day away. After all, it would be such a shame to miss my two weekly Tuesday Sew Wot get together. So we returned home on the Monday instead - thank you Robin. This time we met at Carol's home. It was Jude's birthday, so we got to watch her opening up the Sew Wot's gifts. I'm sure it is just as exciting for us as it is to the birthday girl.
So what did we have for Show and Tell? First up was a pair of orange socks Heather had made for herself, using up some odds and ends of wool.

Heather had also finished another pretty lap quilt. This is the backing, isn't she clever!

Carol had another lot of baby singlets and toys, all packaged up ready to be sent to the Neo Natal ward in the hospital.

Jude had completed two black pillowcases to go with the quilt she showed last time, these are for her grandson.

The six of us chatted happily away, busy with our various knitting projects, and then it was time for morning tea. As it was Jude's birthday, she was presented with a cake complete with birthday candles, and we all sang Happy Birthday to her.
Morning tea
As always, we enjoyed a lovely morning together. Thanks so much to Carol for being the hostess this time.

What a great reason to go home a day early!
You always have lovely get togethers. Great show and tell.
So nice to be home in time for your Sew Wot GTG..
Lovely show and tell and a delicious spread for the birthday girl and you all to enjoy.
What a lovely group of creative friends you have ;)))--I do miss my Mom's and my sewing group meetings--"the Sew n' Sews" --they were such fun...
Mostly knitters, but a few of us quilters, too...I will admit a lot of the time we spent chatting and laughing at stories and not much crafting happened--but all good, right?
I love Heather's socks--orange being a favorite color of mine these days...along with blue--together they are just up my alley;))
Hugs, Julierose
Love the orange socks! The morning tea treats look yummy.
I always enjoy seeing your groups projects. Oh, I would be so nervous about spilling something on that beautiful quilt that she spread across the table.
Happy birthday to Jude. Nice to celebrate with friends. Great show and tell and I do love those socks x
Lucky you have an agreeable husband!! a lovely get together
Thank you Robin for coming home a day early so we could all see what the group has been making. More gorgeous projects.

Looks like a lovely day with the Sew Wots. Happy Birthday to Jude as well. So many fabulous projects in Show and Tell.
