Dear Quilting Friend,
Welcome aboard! We’d love to have you join us as we cruise
and quilt through the lovely Hawaiian Islands. We’ll sail out of Honolulu
on Norwegian Cruise Lines’s new Pride of Hawaii. As a member
of this Quilt Celebration 2007 sailing around Hawaii, you’ll
continue to create friendships at sea, one quilter at a time!

The Pride of Hawaii will be our “floating hotel”
to tour the islands of Hawaii. We will be in port overnight in both Kahului,
Maui and Nawiliwili Kauai, and our quilting classes will be held the second
day we are in each of these ports along with a half day while sailing between
Kona and Kauai. There are a wide variety of classes from which to choose, taught
by seven of the most talented, well-known teachers in the quilting business.
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
and enjoy NCL’s “Freestyle Cruising” which allows you to dine
in all of the on-board restaurants when and where you wish.

The Pride of Hawaii 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!
Lucy and Eddie Mansfield, owners of “The Quilt Scene” in Miami,
Florida are making this possible for us. They will also be operating our “Quilt
Scene at Sea” quilt shop during our cruise.
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 our Quilt Celebration 2007 seminar in Hawaii
with you. Bring a friend, your spouse or your family—non-quilters are
welcome to join us! Husbands enjoy the fishing excursions, golf and other sports
oriented shore excursions in Hawaii and there’s plenty for companions
to do on the ship while you are quilting!
Quilt Celebration participants had a wonderful time in Hawaii in 2004, and we
are looking forward to returning to the islands for another great experience.
We hope you can join us!
Sincerely,
Alex Anderson, Joen Wolfrom, Elly Sienkiewicz, Darra Williamson, Mary Sorensen,
Cindy Walter and Hawaii’s own Mary Haunani Cesar
