Good news, we are returning to Alaska on July 19, 2009! We’d love to have you join us for this special seven day sailing from Seattle to/from Alaska. We’ll cruise on Holland America Line’s wonderful Vista Class ship, the ms Westerdam. As a member of our quilt seminar at sea, you’ll be part of a warm group of fun-loving people sharing it’s common interest in quilting, and have an opportunity to make new friends, one quilter at a time!

Our classes are held during our “at sea” days and we make every attempt to schedule classes outside of port time. There are a wide variety of classes from which to choose, taught by five of the most renown instructors in the world of quilting:
Margaret Miller, Vikki Pignatelli, Linda Carlson, Laura Nownes, and Cindy Walter.

While in port, you can be a carefree tourist, choosing your pleasure whether it be walking, touring, kayaking or shopping! Or you can just relax on the ship, our floating hotel.

The ms Westerdam has a conference center so we will have a special place for our classes. We will be bringing new Bernina sewing machines for you to use. You can even go home with a wonderful buy on a new Bernina.

For all of you that have sailed with us before, we would welcome you back, and for those of you that are just joining us, we look forward to getting to know you and to sharing Alaska Quilt Seminar at Sea 2009 with you. Bring a friend, your spouse or your family – non-quilters are welcome to join us! We will make them feel especially welcome and there’s plenty for them to do while you are quilting!

We are really looking forward to returning to Alaska for another Quilt Seminar at Sea, and we hope you can join us!

Sincerely,
Margaret Miller, Vikki Pignatelli, Linda Carlson, Laura Nownes, and Cindy Walter
