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. During all port stops, Deb will provide those interested with information on museums, shops and related places to see and/or study quilts, quilt and textile history or pursue our all time favorite activity of checking out the neighborhood quilt shop. Best yet, we have not scheduled any classes while the ship is in port, so that you may fill your time with on-shore activities as you see fit enjoying each stop without the need to miss one quilt related activity. An incredible opportunity for any quilter. England's Festival of Quilts plus a 12 day quilt cruise - but, you do not have to be a quilter to enjoy this adventure! Join us to relax with family or friends, or to meet a great group of people. Everyone is welcome. With the 100s of activities onboard the incredible Crown Princess® there will be no shortage of things to do and shore excursions will every interest occupied.

Let the celebrations begin! The Quilter's Hall of Fame (TQHF) is turning 30! The home of TQHF is in the historic Marie Webster house in Marion, Indian; coincidentally, 2009 marks Marie Webster's 150th birthday!
The mission of TQHF is to celebrate quilting as an art form by honoring the lives and accomplishments of those who have made outstanding contributions to the quilt world. As part of the Quilter's Hall of Fame 2009 anniversary festivities thanks to our wonderful teachers we are designating TQHF as a 2009 quilt association donation recipient. OR you may designate your contribution go to disaster relief through the American Red Cross or Samaritan's Purse. The choice is up to you!
