I was looking forward to Sew Wot Tuesday, as I was unable to attend the previous get-together. But first I had to wrap up a couple of birthday gifts to take, both Mary and Helen had recently celebrated their birthdays.
For the birthday girls
There was a full house at Carol's home, it was so nice that everyone could attend. Sadly these days as we are getting older, medical appointments and issues seem to pop up regularly. But we all made it, so that was great. It was such fun watching both Mary and Helen open their gifts, I'm sure we got just as much pleasure seeing it happen as the birthday girls did opening their parcels.
Socks certainly featured in show and tell, they were all laid out for a photo opportunity. Some completed, and some just needed stitching up the side seam, another pair on the needles, plus a pair displayed on feet! Winter certainly is sock knitting time, and Helen had also knitted a couple of wooly hats.
Cozy and warm for winter
Carol had completed her knitting commission from Heather to knit some garments for Heather's upcoming twin great-grandbabies. So pretty.

And Carol had another lot of baby donations to show, before they are whisked away to the hospital.

In fact, I think Carol qualifies for a Gold Star as she had yet another finish to show us. She had just completed this pretty embroidered wall hanging. I love seeing embroidered blocks used in quilts.

All of us were industrially knitting even more socks, except for Jude who was busy with her crochet hook. She was working on this lovely blanket, so pretty in these shades.

Then it was morning tea time, always the highlight of our get-togethers, we always look forward to this. I know we don't really need such a beautiful spread each time, but as we are known as The Eat-alots, we certainly enjoy it, and appreciate the work that goes into it. Thanks to Carol for a lovely morning hosting the Sew Wots.

Look at all those wonderful items; knitting, crochet, embroidery quilt! The small teddy bears are adorable! Love all the pretties. The Morning Tea looks yummy.
Aren’t you lucky to be a part of such a lovely group of ladies. Their show and tell was very impressive this time and the morning tea table looks delightful.
So many warm toes with all those wooly socks! Your show and tell time was wonderful and inspiring! Glad everyone had a good time visiting and of course, enjoying your yummy tea time
What a fun day with friends!
Have to laugh at being the "eat a lots" it is fun to sit around a pretty table and nibble at all the nice finger foods and have a good gossip. So many knitting items - would you say your group knits more than quilts - I've gotten the impression this is not a "quilting" group but an "anything" goes for crafting group. When I was in a quilting group we found that a lot found it easier to take knitting/crochet or cross stitch along to work on then sewing which a lot of times included bringing a sewing machine along.
Beautifully wrapped gifts…
All the socks look great.
Such cute baby sets for the twins.
So many beautiful knitting , crocheted and stitched projects,
.Another delicious spread for the eat-a-lots.
Beautiful handcrafted items! It’s obvious the Sew Wots are seldom idle.
Such wonderful creations your group stitches, knits, and crochets. You all must be so very busy.
God bless.
Wonderful knitting and crochet projects. Love all the teddies with their different ears. Also, the koala is so cute
Aw, my favourite, the Sew Wots. Never disappoint in the lovely projects...adore those embroidered blocks, and the beautiful table for tea. Glad you were able to make it this time, Jenny.
