We just got back from our cruise. Had a great time. I bought beautiful fabric, kits and patterns. The felt best shops were Rushin Taylors and Changing Threads in Skagway, both owned by the same lady. What great fabrics and kits, I just kept buying and buying and buying. While other people were buying jewelry, I was spending as much in the quilt shops. Silver Thimble in Ketchikan was ok, but I felt not near as friendly as the ladies in the shops in Skagway, although I do have a box of fabric coming from Ketchikan.
Glad to be back on the board again.

Glad you had a great time. We did an Alaskan Cruise last July. I got to hit 4 or 5 quilt shops too, including one in Seattle. Would like to go again sometime when I am feeling good. I was recovering from shoulder surgery last year.
It's so much fun to go to different stores!!!

Welcome back. I am glad to hear that you
enjoyed your cruise to Alaska. I can hardly
wait to see pic's of your new fabric, after it arrives.
Have fun deciding what to do with each piece.

Glad you had a nice time and got in some good shopping! I never made it to Alaska when I worked with P&O Cruises, but used to work with people that had worked at Mt McKinley Princess Lodge, and their photos were always stunning. Looking forward to seeing yours!
