Cruise Wrap-up

Here are a few of the highlights from the last couple days of the cruise - desserts were divine (my table mate is Susan Stiff from Moda - computer genuis; Lissa Alexander, Marketing Director for Moda, demonstrated some clever ways to use leftover Jelly Roll strips and several new notions; Sandy Klop of American Jane actually likes to iron for the ladies in her class; Edyta showed off several of her wonderful quilts; our cabin was much roomier than we could have imagined (even a king size bed!); Robert loved the little surprise in our room each evening. Between the lovely ladies and glorious beaches, it really is a great way work/travel/play!


Thanks again to Stitchin' Heaven Quilt Shop & Travel for a wonderful trip. Check their website for upcoming cruises and events. Next year, Bonnie of Cotton Way and Barb & Mary of Me and My Sister will entertain a whole boat load of ladies!

You still have a few days to get in on the Perennials fat 1/8 bundle giveaway from Feb. 7th's Pillow Talk Blog Hop. If you haven't been keeping up, it's not too late. This group of ladies could light up Bennington for a week from the creative energy generated when we all get together!

  5. This is great reading about the cruise. I suspect you are not the only one that returned with a bit of a "bug". Thanks for sharing the pictures --- it's nice to hear about warmth somewhere --- too cold in Michigan.
