Hi gals and guys,


Caught up with Pauline (nonna57) Coral (olly) and Meganne (meganne) today at Craft Depot in Pennant Hills. It was a great day and we all spent up - had lunch at a local pub and then came home. Meg and I had to travel for over an hour to get back to her place and then I had another half an hour on from her place. I bought a Bias Binding machine - can't wait to use it! Love Chris

P.S. Meg has a couple of pictures of us too.

Hello ladies, it is so nice to see you all happy together, and the look of enjoyment on your faces. Is it not wonderfull to be able to spend time together in a fabric shop, and at a restaurant just chatting and laughing. I know that feeling, because it is the same when the Cape Town Cuties in South Africa get together. We are lucky though, we live much closer to one another.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and thanks for sharing with us.
Hugs and God bless.
Marietta

You are more than welcome any time - pity about the travel time though - I know what it's like to travel to South Australia. We did it for years but of course only to Adelaide - not all the way over to Port Pirie. Love Chris

Great photos!!! Wish I could have been there!! Too bad we don't have a group here in Georgia that could get together for the big Quilt and Sew Expo shows. Jerrilyn and I tried to arrange it several years ago and we just gave up. Kay

Great picture! I would love to run across a store like this one! Of course, I am no fun when it comes to shopping because I have a hard time getting around but it has not been that long that I could go shopping in the morning and not come home until bedtime. There is no telling how many shops I would go in to shop when we went to Tn on vacation. I would drag Brian around until he was dead tired and I would still be going strong. That will never happen again but I still like to get in a craft store and try to see eveerything in it! Looks like all of you are having a great time!
