It was a rainy old Tuesday when we all gathered in Carol's home this week. It's Spring here in New Zealand and the weather is always temperamental during this season. It was nice to catch up with everyone again, with only one absence this time. I had taken some old quilt magazines around to share, and some of them found new homes. The rest will be donated to the Op shop.
Of course there was show and tell, with several pair of nice warm socks making an appearance. Helen had knitted these two pair and during the morning she completed sewing up the side seam on yet another pair.

Mary had been knitting socks as well, and had completed two pair of blue toned socks. Plus a little flower we had been shown how to stitch at our last quilt club meeting.

Sandra made a very pretty pansy quilt from the fabrics she had collected over the years. This is for a special friend, isn't it lovely. This design is called "Plaidish" and there are lots of pretty pansy fabrics in here.

Our hostess Carol had been rather busy, with several quilts to show us. The first one was made with fabrics purchased in Vancouver on her 70th birthday, showcasing lovely tall flowers.

Then, in the never ending quest to use up fabrics in the stash, she whipped up these two delights, in pinks and Autumn tones. But we all know we will never use up all those fabrics stashed away, don't we?

After all that excitement it was time for morning tea. The "Eat a Lots" eat again!

Many thanks to Carol for hosting Sew Wots this week.
