Also we went on a cruise luncheon.

The second one was in Connecticut. Kind of similar to the above, except on the last day, we had a Jazz buffet breakfast. What a nice way to end the weekend.

Both these experiences were amazing. The sisterhood was priceless.

This Friday, I’m going on a quilting cruise (Ports of call are Bermuda, St. Maarteen, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico). On the days we are at sea, many workshops are lined up in addition to the standard cruise stuff (rock climing wall, ice skating, dancing yoga, etc.).

The organizer told us not to bring sewing machines because they are supplying new machines for us to use on the ship. The bonus is we get to take them home! More details to follow.Barbara J./NYC
