Cruise information
We sailed out of Baltimore, MA and there were 36 quilters...18 sewed one day and 18 the next day...when we weren't in the sewing room we were doing hand projects, things that they had kits all made up for. FUN! we had Janome Horizon sewing machines which I fell in love with and had to buy one LOL, couldn't resist. My sewing machine is 15 years old so it was time. I am going to start selling some of my collection, FW and Brother 270D first...can only sew on one at a time right? The food was great and the shore excursions well worth the money and I got to spend time with my DD who is also a quilter. The quilt designer was "The Swirly Girls" and the quilt shop was Kelly Ann's from VA We all made the same quilt.

Very nice quilt! Sorry you came back to a snowstorm. Spring is off to a slow start here in NH too. I hope you enjoyed your cruise. I would love to take one of those someday. I like your quilt inspector in your avatar photo!

Our local quilt shop is having a cruise from Galveston to the Caribbean next Feb. Really looking forward to going! I have been on one cruise with my husband of 36 yrs., but not on a quilting cruise. I love retreats, and this will be the best of both.

Our favorite quilt shop in Deland FL has a quilting cruise to Alaska next month and a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands next year that I hope to go on. You have classes/demos and kits to work on on the sea days. They furnish all the sewing machines - kits - everything - you don't have to take anything. You can usually meet someone else who is looking for a "roomie". Go to lunch together or something to meet, if you are not comfortable rooming with a 'stranger'. I went to the Holy Lands with a group and roomed with a lady I didn't know and we had a great time and we go to lunch and shop a few times a year since.
