What I like about the (not affiliated, just am going) Fons and Porter Love of Quilting Cruise is, from what I read, do not have to take any "tools". However, have not gotten official info yet. Cost for the Quilting sessions is pricey, IMO, but three teachers, and free stuff, @ $850. But, I think only three "at sea" days. Check it yourself. I may be wrong, won't be the first or last time. :lol: Silvia
