2007 ALASKA CRUISE REPORT


Everyone had a great time on our Quilters Alaskan Cruise. We were able to visit a number of quilt shops as we visited each port of call. Some took advantage of excursions to view glaciers, wildlife, waterfalls, old growth forests, and even a totem park! Near the end of our cruise, we gathered together for a show and tell and had a blast seeing what fun patterns, quilts and soveniers were had by all. We welcomed many quilters who found out about our group and welcomed them to join us as well. Thanks to everyone for a great week on the inside passage of Alaska!
