Good news, we are returning to the East Coast on September 12, 2009! We’d love to have you join us for this special seven day sailing from Montreal to Boston. We’ll cruise on Holland America Line’s wonderful ms Maasdam. At 720 feet, the ms Maasdam is designed to carry fewer guests while providing them with more space for maximum comfort. 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!

We make every attempt to schedule classes outside of port time, however, there may be a conflict due to this port intensive itinerary. You may chose to stay onboard for the scheduled quilt classes or take a shore excursion. There are a wide variety of classes from which to choose, taught by five of the most renown instructors in the world of quilting:

Elly Sienkiewicz, Karen Kay Buckley, Bonnie McCaffery, Christine Porter and Velda Newman

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

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 East Coast 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 the East Coast for another Quilt Seminar at Sea, and we hope you can join us!

Sincerely,
Elly Sienkiewicz, Karen Kay Buckley, Bonnie McCaffery,
Christine Porter and Velda Newman
