Not only do I get to be with my family, I get to see and experience many places around the world. Plus spend time doing what I like best, stitching with my friends!

I have made more friends and learned more about our craft on these cruises than ever. 

For 3 hours each day at sea you get the benefit of stitching beautifully designed projects with professional instructions from the designers themselves!

The fun, the laughter, the knowledge that we all share is an amazing bond.

I think I get the best of both worlds. Time with my family, time with my friends and time with my needlework all in a single vacation!

Lately I believe that "stress" is my middle name.  Between the housework, getting kids from point A to B, work, school to finish up my PHD, I rarely have a minute to even breathe!

My 3 favorite things in life are stitching, taking a cruise and seeing my best friend (who lives 1000 miles away)!

What a great opportunity to get to do all 3 of my favorite things at once!

My Best friend Doris, an I diligently save our money so that we can go on the wonderful Stitching Cruise with Lorri, Marilyn and Liz.  We have the absolute best time!  No worries!- we just get to enjoy the ship, the ports of call, each other, the wonderful designs and meet great new friends!

We were fortunate enough to go on the Spring 2008 cruise. We had the best time!

Lorri, Marilyn and Liz do a fantastic job pulling everything together... it is so much fun and relaxing!

I can't wait to be able to do another cruise with this group of ladies!

Dear Lorri, Marilyn and Liz,

My friend Cindy and I would like to say how lucky we feel to have found out about the Stitching Cruises that you run each year.

We have traveled together to different retreats and seminars and were trying to decide where to go next and would we take our husbands this time.

We thought a combination of cruising and stitching would be perfect, so we put those key words into Google and found out about you!

I think it is terrific that you have your own website now, so that when people ask me about the cruise (which they often do). I can just direct them there.

We were both totally impressed with the organization and the amount of work that you put into making each cruise an amazing experience for us stitchers.

The classes definitely do not disappoint, nor do the boutiques, gifts, door prizes and cocktails.

We were so pleased with our adventure that we booked immediately for the spring 2009 cruise!

Which I understand is the case with most of the people that joined the group.

We look forward to seeing you all again on the 2009 Spring Cruise!

Your Canadian Friends!

Looking for a great experience?-sign up for the stitching cruise as soon as possible!

The stitching projects , the great instructors , bring fun and learning, laugher and good times that are shared during the classes and the rest of the trip make it the perfect vacation.

Cruising is the best way to travel, unpack once and enjoy a variety of sights, cultures and stitching with friends.  The ship also offers good times such as shopping, the casino, eating, swimming, the shows and a coffee bar that offers a fairly decent Frappacino.

For those of you that don't know anyone going, it won't be an issue.  I went on the 2007 cruise only knowing the instructors and no one else.  I quickly made new friends who share the love of stitching and made the trip a wonderful experience.  Prior to the cruise, I thought it would be a one time vacation, but I signed up for the next one mid-way through the cruise.  I enjoyed reconnecting with everyone on the 2008 cruise and can't wait for the next one!
