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.
Morning tea
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.

Lovely to see what the sew wots are up to. Thanks for sharing..
After being unable to host last time, it would have been nice to have everyone visit. The knitting needles have been busy making lovely items.
I’m sure Gemma was very helpful participating in your meeting that way! Finn would have done the same! So much talent in your little group. I understand why food is such a highlight… can’t wait to see your secret project.
Corn and bacon savories! Oh, recipe please! Nice show this morning of all the knitted projects and your quilt.
There was a lot of show and tell. Nice knitting and yummy morning tea. Always a great day.
Just read your recent posts,Jenny. Yes we hate the nail clipping around here and it takes two of us to do it. Poor Gemma. Lovely pumpkin soup and great treats here for the Eat a Lots. Wow, what a lot of lovely knitting..you all have been knitting the winter season away!
Just such lovely knitted items--I especially like the hooded vests--how cute are they!!:))) Your conation quilt looks great all together now--nice work...
Your savories and sweets look lovely...hugs, Julierose
Nice pile of gifts 🎁…
So many lovely knits for show and tell.
Delicious treats for morning tea..
such a nice colorful post - so many pretty colors in the knitting and the donation quilt is wonderful. Your table spread with good things to eat - I have not been feeling like eating much this past couple weeks but that all looks tasty
It looks like everyone was knitting. Lovely show and tell.
The blue/green yarn that Heather used is gorgeous!
And you sure do provide some yummy eats!!
Looks like a lovely sharing day.
I have one like that to go to tomorrow. I call it my therapy.
Oh, I love this! Friends together; knitting together; gift-giving; and eating. What could be better?! I have a new-found appreciation for those knitted creations. Very impressive! I adore Carol's stuffies, and Helen's singlet is so pretty! The quilt you made is wonderful, Jenny, and will certainly be loved by some young fella. Your pictures made me want to pop over and join you, just to enjoy the camaraderie! I want updates on that cauliflower plant! I've never attempted to grow one, so I'll be interested to see how it does, especially among rhubarb!
