jaydee - I recognize you from onboard the Quilt Camp at Sea cruise - weren't you working for them? I can't agree with what a great experience Quilt Camp at Sea is. They are fine as it goes, but every cruise is the same thing, different itinerary , different teacher. After having done 2, I looked for another company that offered a better variety of quilting as well as onboard fun. I have heard similar stories from others I met on Quilt Camp at Sea cruises, they were disappointed. Some who had been before said it used to be different, used to be fun, but they agreed that one likes a little adventure and fun, not just sittin in a classroom - like being at a workshop in the local quilt store. Sorry, to sound negative, but there are BETTER OPTIONS out there. Just my opinion.
