Cruise Day 1


We met back in the dining room after breakfast, ready to start stitching! 

Besides Sue, we had two other designers along for the cruise; Claudia Dutcher Kistler of Dutch Treat Designs and Elizabeth Tallado of Dames of the Needle. 

 
 
 
 

Cruise tote bags were distributed to each stitcher

 

 
 
 
 
 

Everyone was very excited when Sue’s cruise project was revealed:

Elizabeth Talledo of Dames of the Needle presented her wonderful project about South American mermaids and gave instruction to stitchers that needed help.

 









 
Claudia Kistler of Dutch Treat Designs presented her project and give some instructions on the tips and techniques of stitching a table topper and stitchers started stitching on a small version of the table topper to get used the Anne Cloth before graduating to the topper itself.
