    Sunlitensmiles, I have never taken one of those trips but it sure sounds like fun. sewing and quilting and no dishes to do. Sounds great!

    I am also really liking this block. Wondering what all can be done with it. Excited about the different colors being used and how it's affecting the block. Really neat. I will definitely use it again.

    Years ago I went on an Alaska cruise with a group of watercolourists it was fun but now it sure would be nice 'strength wise' to have less luggage!

    This #9 mystery is so pretty, that is why I am so looking forward to Saturday. All nine have been so/sew great and many with a surprising last clue, such fun! Judy you have my undying gratitude for sharing your talent, great Lady.

    Oh doesn't this sound like something wonderful to try. If you are talking lottery tickets, guess that means there is quite a fee to it, but still wouldn't mind looking into it. Can you share the site please?

    Yup, sunlite found the hint for Saturday, good memory! And thank you for your kind words.

    I love cruising, but decided after the last one will not do one alone -- too lonely on a ship of 3,000 passengers, and it was 10 long days in the Baltics and Russia. My late DH and I went on many, loved them all, but maybe a quilt cruise would be a way to travel with some kindred souls. Hmmmmmm

    I have taken a quilting cruise. It was not my first Caribbean cruise, and I took my BFF (a non-quilter, but an artist, nonetheless) with me. We had a ball. The only draw back was that we did our sewing in the bowels of the ship, so had to make an effort to absorb the sunshine. Would do it again in a minute!!!

    Linda were there elevators all the way down ? Stairs (down) are not kind to my knee, so the question, not mentioned in the on-line brochures. Oh, by the way, bought a lotto ticket at the grocery store this morning....giggle....
