Karen is coming!! She's probably on the way to the airport as I write this. I'm so excited!!
I met Karen a few years ago, networking at Quilt Market. We've been friends ever since. I invited Karen to be my guest instructor on my quilting cruise. Since she was coming down, she is also teaching at my shop tomorrow. Then we leave Saturday for our quilting cruise. This is the 4th quilting cruise that I have hosted. This time we are cruising on the Holland America Oosterdam, from San Diego to Vancouver. We'll cruise for a couple days, then stop in Seattle on Tuesday. I've arranged a quilt shop tour for my cruisers. We'll be visiting The Calico Cat, Steeped in Comfort Tea House, Shibori Dragon, and finally, the Quilt Barn. I wish you could all join us!!
In honor of Karen's visit, I thought I would give away a signed copy of her new book. Just leave a comment for me and I'll draw a winner on May 1!!

Hi Kris. Oh, I love the Oosterdam! My hubby and I had the pleasure of going on a Mexican Riviera cruise on it 2 years ago. The staff is wonderful! Your Alaska quilting cruise sounds just wonderful! Enjoy!
