Sew Wot Tuesday

 It was so nice to join in with the Sew Wot ladies again, as I had missed the last two get-togethers.  This time, we met at Jude's home.  Our numbers were down a little, with two of the ladies unable to join us this time.  The family dog was not at all happy to be locked up in the back yard.  He really wanted to come and meet all those visitors, and let his displeasure be known!

I had taken along some knitting patterns which were no longer required, and several found new homes.  The rest will be donated to one of the local Op Shops.

As usual, there was an interesting selection of Show and Tell.  Helen had recently made herself a knitting needle holder, a very clever idea, and it all rolled up neatly with a tie.

There was quite a bit of knitting on show.  Mary had made a pair of green and cream socks.

Jude showed us her knitted scarf and a pair of socks.  The scarf has been knitted in a lovely manly shade  and will be donated - one of the knitting shop chains had put a call out for woolen scarves for veterans.  And the socks were knitted in such a pretty yarn, featuring cream, orange and yellow.

Carol had knitted three lovely baby sets, singlet, hat and soft toy, to be donated to the Neo Natal Unit for babies.  So nice.

As for me, I had taken along two recently finished quilts.  My embroidered Christmas wall hanging, and a boy's quilt for donation.

Then it was morning tea time and the tea trolley was wheeled out.  Cups of coffee and tea as requested, fancy plates and serviettes and some delicious food, we were certainly spoilt.

Many thanks to Jude for being hostess, we all had such a lovely morning.  And we will do it again in two weeks time.
