Sew Wot Tuesday had rolled around again, and we met at Heather's home this time. Everyone could make it, so we had a full crew. It was another chilly morning but the gas fire was going to keep us all warm and cozy.
Heather had been having a clean out and there were goodies looking for a new home on her dining table. I took home a couple of teddy bear cushion panels, I'll make some cushions for the foster kids with these. Plus a length of very bright fabric which would do nicely for a small quilt backing. The others all had a poke through to see what took their fancy, with anything remaining destined for the Op Shop. Thanks, Heather.
How about show and tell? Heather had a very special quilt to show us, it is the 19th anniversary of this beautiful quilt, made by two of our Sew Wot ladies, Helen and Mary, to wish Heather well when she was undergoing her triple bypass. A beautiful soft palette , festooned with glorious roses, and made with much love.
Hearts and Roses for Heather
Carol had been knitting away and brought in two tiny little sets to go to the Neo Natal ward. Aren't they just so sweet.
Carol's baby knitting
There was another treat in store from Carol - we hadn't seen any of her lovely embroidery for a while. Just look at these beautifully embroidered Holly Hobby blocks in this special quilt.
Of course Carol is keeping this one after all those hours of embroidery
I had brought along my latest batch of drawstring bags for foster kids, all with a touch of orange.
My latest draw string bags
Our hostess Heather excelled herself. She had made a bag and knitted three baby beanies. And then showed us a big pile of fleecy backed lap quilts, which will be donated to cancer patients undergoing treatment. Heather told us she is is a mission to deal with all those scraps, we can all relate to that.
