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.

Lots of lovely warm cosy socks completed and some beautiful quilts finished too.
Oh that morning tea looks very inviting.
There is always so much to see when the Sew wots get together. I love the pansy quilt. Those socks look good too. Could you share details of the pattern you use please?
What lovely quilts your group have made!! The Pansy one is especially pretty, I think. And a total "sock-o-rama"-;))))) they look so warm and cozy;)))
Great that your group gets to meet up like that. hugs, Julierose
What a productive group…beautiful quilts and cozy socks! Eating delicious snacks tops off your meeting perfectly.
I just love seeing all the handicrafts your friends finish each month.
I have the Plaidish instructions in my notebook of potential projects and am thrilled to see Sandra's version. I really like the border fabrics on Carol's autumn quilt. I think I must try practicing more imagination in my fabric choices.
Autumn has officially arrived in Massachusetts, too soon it will be time to close the windows against the cold temperatures. I envy your arriving spring.
what a pretty table of treats! nice. Lots of nice socks and quilts that you share.
So much show and tell this time. All gorgeous, as usual.
Look at all the lovely warm socks, and those quilts are just beautiful.
God bless.
Looks like it was a bit of a sock festival. They are all lovely!
You have some great quilters in your group also. Lovely to see what they had made. I always enjoy seeing what everyone gets up to.
