Sew Wot Tuesday

Heather was the "Hostess with the Mostest" this week, and we all gathered at her home on a lovely sunny Tuesday morning.  She had been having a clean up in her sewing room, and had lots of goodies looking for a new home.  I spotted a strip of three teddy bear panels, which Heather had received from someone else and wasn't sure what to do with them. They will be perfect for making  three kiddies cushions for donation, I told her, as I scooped it up and put it in my bag.

Show and Tell was overflowing this time. Sandra arrived with a big armful of quilts, some of these had been hanging around for a while and she wanted them finished and gone, she said.   We all admired the postage stamp quilt she was making for a friend, just the binding to do on this one.

The next was a pretty floral star quilt made for one of her Aunts.  Nice soft colours in this one.

I remember seeing the next one when it was a top, such a nice design and great colours for a masculine donation quilt.  I like the pieced border too.

Nice for an older boy

The next was quite a striking design, something she just wanted to try, Sandra said.  Another donation quilt.

Such a striking pattern

And lastly, another donation quilt, I really like this pattern, simple but so effective.  I might have to remember this for my own donation quilts.  Sandra has done so well, having a big push to get all these quilts past the finish line.

The final donation quilt, didn't she do well!

Our hostess Heather had a lot to show as well.  I had seen and admired her pretty Kawandi piece over the months while it was being stitched.  Originally it was going to be made into a bag, but then Heather decided to make a mini quilt instead.

The yet to arrive twin babies have a pretty aqua cardigan each

And lastly, Heather had knitted a pretty shawl for her friend, so light and lacy.

Jude had been knitting too, and  brought along five kitten kitten blankets for the SPCA.  When each kitten gets adopted, they get a cozy blanket to take to their new home.

Helen had been busy too, she had stitched her Sew Wot mini blocks into a little book.  What a lovely job she has made of this.

Helen made another pair of socks

And lastly, Helen's sister knitted a baby cardigan, which Helen stitched up for her and will be donated.  Here sister has not done a great deal of knitting, so it was a great effort indeed.

And what would our Sew Wot get together be without another tasty morning tea?  There were plenty of tasty goodies here for us all.  The table was set with a custom made table cloth, using up many 5inch squares.  

Thanks so much, Heather, we all had a lovely time.
