Quilting Cruises

 

Wendy Rieves and I have been blessed with the opportunity to lead 6 quilting cruises. Our most recent trip was aboard the Viking Burgundy riverboat through the wine region of France! Please enjoy the photos of this memorable adventure and go to "Our Next Adventure" for information on our trip to Ireland in 2010!

France

Our 6th quilting cruise began in the French Riviera.

We traveled up the Rhone & Soane rivers past lovely villages, vineyards, Roman ruins, open markets and so many wonderful sights.

Many of us enjoyed the delights of Paris after our cruise was complete. What a memorable adventure!
