There was another Sew Wot birthday to celebrate on Tuesday, this time Heather was the birthday girl. We gathered at Carol's home, two of our ladies couldn't make it, so it was a group of five this time. Mmmm, I wonder what is in all these interesting parcels - we watched on as Heather duly opened each one.
Happy Birthday Heather
She received some bulbs and a plant for the garden, fabric, ironing spray, chocolate, a wind chime, and a pretty little plastic bin for the kitchen. It's always so much fun to see what comes out of these wrapped gifts.
Only one show and tell item this time, it was my yellow dinosaur quilt made from an Op Shop duvet cover, with a cozy grey fleece backing.
My show and tell
There was a pile of quilt magazines brought along for us to browse through. These were English mags, which I hadn't seen before, so I took a few home to peruse. In the meantime we chatted away, most of us were knitting, I was working on my pink socks, and enjoyed each other's company.
Morning tea was set out on the table, and look, a cream sponge with candles! We all sung Happy Birthday to Heather. The table was set with a very pretty soft blue quilt which Carol had recently finished.
Morning tea is served
Another lovely Sew Wot morning, many thanks to Carol for being the hostess this time. Carol's husband arrived back home just before we departed, and he was reassured that we hadn't eaten all the food, there was plenty left for him to enjoy for lunch!

Such a wonderful way to spend the morning with your friends!
it is nice to have birthday celebrations as I know some of you are by yourselves now. It's nice to have celebrations
It's always good to get together with friends.
Another lovely visit with the Sew Wots. It sounds like Heather had a good birthday and a delightful time was had by all.
Such good company!
It's wonderful that you continue to regularly meet with these friends, though I understand the challenge of trying to get everyone to attend. Life happens. I'm happy you could knit your pink socks while visiting. I have been finding it very challenging to knit while chatting. I guess I haven't fully developed that skill set yet! Ha, ha.
