This week we met at Carol's home, just a short drive away for me, everyone was there except Sandra who could not make it this time. We had hardly settled down and then the Show and Tell came thick and fast. First up was Helen, who had completed her Kiwi Block of the Month quilt, and her task for the morning was to stitch the binding down. This is a lovely quilt, make with beautiful batiks, and lots of Kiwi elements to spot, such as the lizards frollicking around and a pukeko and her chick at the bottom.

Jude had been busy and had two things to show us. First was her sewing machine cover, which had been hanging around for a while, so she was pleased to get it finished.

And we all loved this fabulous Plus quilt, stitched in shades of grey and pops of yellow. Very nice indeed.

Remember those mini blocks we made a swapped recently? Mary has made hers into a small table runner, adding some of her lovely crochet between the blocks, such a great idea.

Heather had finished knitting a tiny little vest for the Neo Natal ward, the wool was so nice and soft. The buttons on the shoulders are to allow for any tubes which may be necessary for the tiny baby, and Heather had decided to add multi coloured buttons for added interest.

And Carol showed us the kit she was working on, this was a gift from her sister, she may or may not add extra borders, we will have to wait and see.

While Helen was stitching her binding, the rest of us were knitting away, mostly socks it seemed, although I was working on a baby jumper which had been put aside for a little while. And then it was morning tea time, mmm, so delicious. All nicely set out on a Holly Hobble quilt made with pretty 1930s fabrics.

Thanks so much Carol, we all had a lovely time. And we get to do it all again in two weeks time.

You must get so inspired! I'm working on two things and having a hard time.
When I taught kindergarten, we used to call it 'Bring and Brag!'
The tea looks so lovely! Also the quilt on the table ... so spring like. It is still winter here in Muskoka, Ontario Canada. 🩷🩷

So much pretty inspiration to be had at your Sew Wot Tuesdays, Jenny. Lovely conservation with stitching friends, and a delicious morning tea, too.
As always, lovely show and tell. The quilts on display look lovely.
Aw, the Sew Wots, my favourite. All the work is beautiful. Tell Mary how beautiful her crocheted edging is. And Carol's quilt is lovely...I wonder what the pattern is. Delicious looking lunch as well.
