Yes, Margarita, it worked!
There wasn't a big queue outside the chat room, but 'majack' and I had a lovely chat. Date, time, and location for her local quilt exhibition in October are now in my diary and it's within easy distance for me. Yippeh!!
I'll keep popping into 'Quilt Police Free Zone' at around 8pm UK time from now on. I'll just sit there for a while with a little hand-sewing and wait for company. Anybody can join me.
And, no, I'm not bringing the Eagle Owl. He has to stay in Scotland.
