Hi Terre, you ain't wrong there - that's the beauty of being a sewing enthusiast I suppose. We had lots to talk about. Love Chris

What great fun you must have had chatting away. I am glad to see pics of cuties when they get together!

Not bad for a man who rarely takes photos! Love Chris

Just popped in to say Hello - we are being picked up at 10.00 to be taken to the Melbourne airport. It was great catching up with Marianne - couldn't miss her when she came around the corner with that great big sign!!!!

Talk about talk - we talked for a good hour without a breath I think. We had a couple of cappuccinos by the time Trevor got back from walking around the markets. They are HUGE!!!!! Melbourne weather has been fantastic.

The cricket on Friday night was great and we won on the last ball. Yesterday there was a 1 day game and again Australia won (it's about time anyway, as we lost the ASHES!!!).

The place we've been staying at is really quite central and we are thinking of sending our girls here for Dana's 30th birthday for some "girlie" time and SHOPPPPPPPIIIINNNGGGGG! They will love it.

Don't know when I'll catch up again on the internet, may be in Tasmania.

Love to you all and it was so great meeting up with Marianne - she has the bluest of blue eyes! Love Chris

It does sound like you had a great time - we will wait to hear more of what you are up to - when you get the change - we are thrilled for you and Marianne and that is so neat that you notices her bluest of blue eyes, too. Stay safe in your travels.

I really enjoyed meeting you as well, Chris. Along with Trevor too, of course. Hope you both remembered to say 'Lonnie' instead of Lawn-ceston, LOL.

wow, that must have been so great to meet each other!!! thanks for sharing and posting the picture!

Thanks very much for your kind words. I am pleased Trevor could work my camera!!!! love Chris

How nice it is to meet other cuties.. Lovely pic

Thank you for sharing this lovely picture. Sarah.

Marianne and Chris, it is so wonderful that the two of you were able to have your meeting - that the weather didn't get in your way - how was the Market? So happy that Trevor was there to take a picture for us to see the two of you together - this is such super news - having more CUTE family together. It seems like days - since we heard how everyone else is getting along - it is nice know that things are well there in Melbourne, too.

Thanks Shirlene - the time went by too fast. Love Chris

This is just so great, two cuties meeting each other, this site is doing so much for people around the world!! I take it that there was no flooding where you met....

1 comment

by greysewist 16 Jan 2011

No, we were in the middle of Melbourne and no flooding here this round -a lot of gardens are pretty soggy though, including mine! The meet-up was great! I hope lots more get to do the same.

Here's the pic Chris' husband Trevor took for us.
Ricky, I wore your Cuties design (thanks!) so Chris might spot me. I couldn't decide what to put it on, so added (another donated, thanks!)rikrak border to turn it into a badge, then clipped it to my top.I went a little too big! I took along some sew n tell in case Chris was desperately missing sewing after more than a whole day away from her machine.

Thanks Trevor for the great photo - can you see Marianne's beautiful blue eyes. mine are Hazel, but don't show up as well as Marianne's. For Yvonne, yes, I did spot her as soon as she turned round the corner to the cafe.

It was quite warm there as you can see we are both in cool cotton.

Love Chris
