My two sisters and I are going on a quilting cruise on Jan. 16 to the western Caribbean for 7 days on the Oasis of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) with Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company and Lynn Hagmeier from Kansas Troubles. Our main purpose of going is for meeting the two instructors, enjoying the total of 4 projects we will be doing with the two of them, enjoying the entertainment (CATS, a Disney on Ice-type show, a diving show, various other things), the amenities on the ship, and each other's company. I may or may not get off the ship on the port days.....we'll see. Can't wait! There will be Baby Lock machines provided, and all the notions, tools, etc. we will need. We don't bring anything, other than our clothes, etc. I remember seeing a quilting cruise cruise that was going to Ireland, but I wouldn't want to do that one, since I would want to do Ireland with my husband, and I would want to concentrate on the sights.
