Yesterday I was lucky enough to meet Pauline(nonna57) it was hard to meet as we live so far.. about 15-20min away from each other. lol. We had a lovely cuppa and chat in a local Bistro. Pauline surprised me with a bag of goodies all of which I will treasure. I will look forward to seeing each other again.

p.s Sorry it took so long to post this is my 3rd attempt. Internet not friendly today.. Marian

Hi marianb, How wonderful it must have been to meet up with another Cutie (noona57). I know when Chris (pennifold) said that she would love to meet me earlier this year, I was so excited. My Darling Husband Keith got an ear bashing, because I could not stop talking about my first encounter with a Cutie. I still have fond memories of Chris & her lovely Husbands visit. I too hope that Chris & I can do it again one day.
Merry Christmas
Regards Lorraine

How wonderful to have a get together with another cutie, and one living so close to share your interests. I can see lots of opportunities for you to share discussions on ideas and designs. Happy meetings to you both. Sandra.

So pleased Marian that Pauline lives so close to you - 15-20 mins is nothing. I know how long it takes Pauline to get up here to see Meg and I. I hope you get to meet more often and I hope Pauline hasn't forgotten that we have to come down soon and do some ''fabric" shopping in the new year. Well, at least once I can sit long enough in a car. Have a wonderful Christmas Marian, love Chris
