Sew Wot Tuesday

 Heather was the hostess this time, with just five of us in attendance.  It was a chilly, showery Spring morning, our Spring weather is always rather temperamental.  Two birthdays were celebrated, there was a belated gift for Heather, and a couple of gifts for Jude, the next birthday girl.  We all enjoy watching the gifts being opened, and I spotted some pretty soap, hand cream, hand towel and a crochet flannel.  Jude got an extra gift to take home for the family dog, a bag of dog treats.  He will be very happy with those, she commented.  Ooops, looks like I forgot to take photos of the birthday girls and gifts.

Only a little show and tell this time.  Heather brought out a couple of oldies to show us.  We all loved this special little play mat, with tiny dolls and animals tucked away.  Imagine what fun a little girl would have taking these dollies out of the pockets, talking to them while playing, then carefully placing them back again.

Beautifully embroidered and folds up with a tie

The other item Heather showed us was a cot quilt with an appliqued doll and cat on the front and back.  The doll and cat were meant to be  stuffed toys, but Heather decided to use them as  appliques instead.  The pretty quilt was finished with a ruffle, so pretty, I would never have thought to do that.



So pretty

The only other show and tell was my recently finished yellow string cot quilt, and pair of pink socks.

My show and tell

I had taken along some old quilting mags,  a Quilt Diva panel, and two Father Christmas patterns looking for new homes.  The mags and the panels went, so that's good.

We sat there chatting, and knitting, we were a happy bunch indeed.  Always plenty to talk about, and put the world to rights.  And then it  was morning tea time, including an iced  lemon cake with a candle to celebrate Jude's birthday.  The Eat-a-Lots did very well again.  We always appreciate the morning teas provided  by the hostess of the day.

Morning tea is served

It was another lovely Sew Wot morning, it is always so nice to meet up, and many thanks to Heather for being the hostess with the mostest.

It sounds like a very lovely visit with the Sew Wots. I always enjoy seeing the projects shared. Your cozy socks and yellow quilt is adorable and Heather's playmat is precious as is the little doll quilt. Have a wonderful day, Jenny.

What an adorable play Mat--so creativeily put together--and it rolls up and ties--amazing work!! That cot quilt is so cute--clever to have the back of the dolly appliqued right on the reverse side...wonderful sewists in your group.
Hugs, Julierose

You must be a speed knitter to have those socks done already! Looks like a fun morning.
