The Sew Wots gathered at my home this time. All except Jude, who was away on a family holiday. Heather arrived and presented me with a nice little bunch of flowers, such a lovely thing to do.

Just a little Show and Tell this time. Helen started with some baby knitting, a little singlet and three small hats. All to be donated and she was happy to use up some of those small balls of wool which seem to hang around.

Mary had completed the lovely crochet rug she was working on last time we met. This will be donated to a friend, it's so pretty. Mary is a whizz with crochet, and can whip things up in no time at all.

And I showed my recently completed burgundy red double handed oven mitt, using up some more of my selvedges.

Gemma thought having these visitors was great fun. She wandered here, wandered there. The ladies all had bags at their feet, just waiting to be explored with a sniff test. Then she jumped up on the wall unit, I'm not sure you should be there, Gemma. But does she listen? Of course not.
I'm a good girl really
We were all busy knitting away. There were 4ply socks and thick bed socks being worked on. And several little baby jumpers too, I noticed. Heather has a lot of knitting to do, with twins arriving soon in the family, so she's been busy knitting two of each item.

Then it was Morning Tea time. Hot drinks were made, and the food was set out on the coffee table. The "Eat a Lots", the named coined by Helen's hubby, indulged again.
Morning Tea
There is always plenty of food, so I packed some up for the freezer, and took some up for my friend Dot and her hubby, he's not too well and has got a bit of a sweet tooth so always enjoys a few goodies. It was so nice to take my turn hosting this time. Next time, we were told, we would be gathering in Foxes Cottage, our LQS, that should be fun.

Such a talented group! The blanket that Mary made is pretty. What is the name of the pattern? Gemma was a great host—very welcoming and then overseeing the proceedings from her perch on the wall unit.
nice to meet at the quilt shop next time. I'm sure you will find a few things you will want. The lady's group always looks like a good time.
Lovely baby garments to be donated.
Warm cosy crocheted rug to be gifted.
Gemma is getting into mischief jumping on the dresser.
You make a nice spread for morning tea.
Sounds like a lovely day with the Sew Wots. Pretty bouquet of flowers you received and lots of lovely projects in the works. Your clam shell quilt looks fabulous hanging on the wall, Jenny. Have a blessed day.
Lovely projects by the Sew Wots as is usual. The flowers are such a pretty purple. Love your quilt on the wall.
God bless.
Lovely knitting and crochet, your morning tea looks wonderful too.
Another lovely morning together. It sounds like Gemma enjoyed having visitors.
Lovely flowers. You ladies are all very prolific.
It does look like everyone had a lovely day together.
And obviously, a lot of knitting and crochet getting done.
Another lovely meet up with friends and a lot of beautiful items to share. The morning tea also looks delicious. Gemma is also a very beautiful cat.
How nice to gather with friends and work on projects together. The food looks yummy, and those little knitted baby hats are so sweet!
