The Bad Girls Guild |
Quilters, shake the dust off your boas and shine your tiaras! You won’t want to miss this quilting cruise with the Bad Girls Guild! Are we really bad? Of course not! We only think we’re bad because we hoard fabric, spend every extra waking moment (and many sleeping moments!) quilting and planning our next project, and our best friends are of the quilting variety…they know a fat quarter is NOT a body part!
Departing from Port Canaveral, Florida (near Orlando), we will be sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas…a fabulous ship featuring the first-ever onboard surf park at sea; cantilevered whirlpools that extend 12 feet beyond the sides of the ship; the H2O Zone waterpark; the largest rock-climbing wall; extensive WiFi capabilities; flat-screen TVs in every stateroom; and so much more!
