I was the hostess this time for Sew Wot Tuesday, and it was lovely to welcome everyone to my home for the morning. Heather had just celebrated her birthday so there were lots of gifts waiting for her to open. It was such fun seeing what was in those parcels, There was wool, smellies, a set of coffee mugs, and she was thrilled to receive a pair of hand knitted socks! Plus a home grown lemon tree from Helen.
Birthday gifts for Heather
Heather had been knitting up a storm to bring along for Show and Tell. There were two hooded sleeveless jumpers for when the great great grandbabies get a little bigger. They have so many baby knits that Heather was planning ahead. Plus a nice little cream and blue jumper.
Carol's knitted toys
Mary had some knitting to show us too. A cozy pair of bed socks, and a pair of 4ply socks, still works in progress she said, as they needed stitching up.
Pretty pink baby singlet knitted by Helen
I showed my recently completed boy's donation quilt. Plus my completed secret sewing project but I can't show it here yet until it was been gifted.

Morning tea was served, including corn and bacon savouries, a recipe which harks back to when my children were teens, so that is going back a good few years! The Eat-a-Lots certainly enjoy their morning teas.

Helen had kindly brought along some seedlings from her garden to share. I don't have a veggie garden so took some cauliflower plants and planted them in my rhubarb patch. Hopefully they will grow.
Trying my luck with caulies
We had a lovely morning with the knitting needles click clacking away, socks, baby singlets, a scarf and a man's jumper being worked on. Plus plenty of chatter too of course. Gemma walked around and checked out everyone's bags, just in case there was something for her. It was so nice to be the hostess again.
