We are
on our way! Join teachers
Marianne Fons, Pam Holland,
Yvonne Porcella, Kathy Kansier and
Sandie Lush!
The first annual Quilt Cruise for a Cause is scheduled to
depart from London
on August 24, 2009. The Festival of Quilts option
begins August 21.
Quilting classes will abound on this British Isles cruise journey. As you see, an amazing group of quilt teachers and quilting personalities are being gathered to share during this fundraising event. In addition to the onboard quilting festivities, during all port stops Deb will provide those interested with information on museums, boutiques and related places to see quilts, (as they are available) where you can learn of the area's quilt and textile history or pursue our all time favorite activity of checking out the neighborhood quilt and fabric shops. Best yet, we have not scheduled any quilting workshops while the ship is in port so that you may fill your time with on-shore activities as you see fit; you will be able to enjoy each stop without the need to miss one quilt related activity.
An incredible opportunity for any quilter, join us for England's Festival of Quilts plus a 12 day quilt cruise. Please note! One does not have to be a quilter to enjoy this adventure! Several non-quilting spouses have already joined the group! Join us to relax with family or friends, or to meet some new people. Everyone is welcome. With the 100s of activities onboard the incredible Crown Princess® there will be no shortage of things to keep every interest occupied.
