It was Sew Wot Tuesday today, I had missed the previous get together. Mary was the hostess today, we hadn't seen her for a while with several appointments scheduled on Sew Wot Tuesdays in a row, so it was lovely to catch up with her again.
Mary may well have been missing in action for a while, but she had plenty of show and tell for us. The first one was a lovely colourwash scrappy quilt made by Mary's daughter for her own daughter's birthday. Mary was keeping it under wraps till the big day.

Mary had two pretty little bags to show us. This one is a pretty stitching bag, you can't have too many of those for your various projects.

And this beautiful blue satin one was made by her grand-daughter using scraps from the school ball gown Mary had stitched for her last year. Such a lovely idea.
"M" for Mary
Mary loves embroidery and rescued this pretty tablecloth from an Op Shop a while ago. She finished off the embroidery, and added a crochet border.

And Helen had finished a pair of socks too, and was busy knitting yet another pair. There's nothing nicer than hand knitted socks!

"I'm wearing my Show and Tell", Heather announced. She looked really fetching in a lovely warm vest made with her own hand spun wool, and knitted in a lacy pattern.

As usual, there was a lot to chat about, and before we knew it, morning tea was served. Delicious, and we all loved the toasted asparagus rolls with cheese on top, I thinks we will all be making this tasty idea at home when visitors arrive.

You've been a busy bunch of sew wots. Love that colourwash quilt and the bouquet.
Such a talented group of ladies! Lots of beautiful show and tell as well as a feast at tea time. Great to catch up with everyone’s news too.
Oh my!! , Mary's Colorwash quilt is spectacular ;)))--I love scrappy quilts and this assemblage is a great example of scrappiness...I love seeing all the "show and tell" from your great group of crafty ladies--thanks so much for sharing...
hugs, Julierose
Such creativity, and skills! I enjoyed the projects!
A beautiful colourwash quilt made by Mary’s daughter.
So many other lovely show and tell. I love how you ladies make things to donate . 👍
A nice spread for morning tea.
Mary certainly was busy. The ladies always have such lovely projects to show and I am definitely glad that you share them with us.
God bless.
It sounds like a wonderful visit with the Sew Wots. So many wonderful projects. The asparagus rolls sound delicious.
Lovely show and tell, especially the colour wash quilt. And Lots of lovely warm knitting, too.
Wonderful show and tell, as always, and lots of it this time. I’m rather partial to a scrappy quilt, so love the one made by Mary’s daughter. Morning tea looked delicious.
your tea table always looks so pretty when you all get together. I love that quilt - and the knitted items - so pretty!
It's always fun to see what your Sew Wots have created, and they didn't disappoint. Socks seem to be the theme lately. As much as I'd love to make them, I'd never wear them. Sandals and barefoot are the de rigueur footwear here. Heather's vest is wonderful! It's always nice to see the goodies you-all get to eat during your meet-ups. I'm salivating.
