Pat brought her new fabric "Nikki" on the ship so I was able to score the whole line in 1/2 yard cuts! Woohoo...love it. I have 2 quilts in mind already.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ij3LfyuqA-Aubi2DrB26k6HYZHuRXr1MsdfdHEQZy746TzVPGClKcWit6CsEUBRpr7_y28J-OugX7cR9MvXYPX-Uk6Z667WLGs9aknlfu-De99JThcfsvIGEPSLQfcvmkX27/s320/cruise+2008+052.jpg)
This is the pattern in the kit for the class "Ocean Breeze". Pat was so prepared that she partially cut the fabrics so we could start sewing with a half hour of class starting.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijG4GYN8uqwuK7Rvjj_e0ZygXOmcBPaVuU4Gx4TGB-mAXit6iOs8_TPsDy_ZdpDOq08yPbPWSEPyulvf5Lnq9-zUYJWdKBpV8IQ6j8PDhZuMvBxC4g9asetI0MND8bn4PQ8N88/s320/cruise+2008+053.jpg)
The most tedious part of the quilt was squaring up the half square triangles.
Quilts that Pat brought on the ship...soooo much more beautiful in person. I was amazed at how much can be lost with a picture.

Here we are at the 2nd part of Pat's class. It was very so much fun. I LOVED the Janome Memory Craft 6600....I have no affliation with Janome...just loved using the machine so much that I bought one. They sold 29 machines to the 43 ladies in the class!!! Now that's how great this machine is.
A new friend we made...a gal from Kentucky...
Pat gave some great tips. I thought I couldn't learn anything new from her and boy was I wrong. She told us her trick for machine applique and it really worked to my surprise. I don't have tons of pictures of the class room...because I was sewing LOL.
