The last day of April finds me home for the first day back from the beautiful Caribbean Cruise to Nassau, St Thomas and St Maartin. We spent 7 glorious days with friends aboard the Carnival Dream, which is the largest ship I have seen. Until we hit St Maartin and docked next to the Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas. It makes our ship look like a toy!We kayaked in mangrove rivers and on the ocean, we snorkled on two diving wrecks and we segwayed across Nassau to the old fort to look out as did the Spanish/French/Dutch/English/American/Pirates
Our ship held 3600 passengers and 1600 crew while theirs held 3200 crew and 6500 passengers. Talk about huge!
The Zig Zag Quilt was a complete sucess! It got completed and given to Patsy and Chuck on the last full day of our cruise. She gave me one of the highest compliments a person can give a quilter. She was overwhelmed when she saw I was opening up a quilt to give her, and she said, I have really wanted one of your quilts, but I didn't want to ask for one!Yes, that is worth every stitch I put into the Zig Zags!
And I am sad to report that no Cleaning Elves came into my house when I was gone. No Finish Up Fairies did anything with the unquilted tops and unfinished blocks. So I still have all the work I did last week. And it may never ever get done.
I need a Quilt-Natrix to beat me into submission everytime I start a new project.........

I swear, I instructed those cleaning elves to get to your house and clean it up, and they promised to call the finishing fairies to visit as well, guess I won't rely on them anymore!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great trip!
Glad you had such a lovely trip with an exciting quilty finish! Sadly, no quilting or cleaning fairies ever visit me either.
ReplyDeleteLocks like a wonderful cruise. When you find those cleaning faries, send them my way too.
