The beautiful islands of Aruba and Curacao are so colorful and inviting, plus we get a day at Royal Caribbean’s private beach destination of Labadee, Haiti. The Southern Caribbean is a great backdrop for our quilting days at sea.
The Educator: Jacquelyn Morris Smith
I have been sewing since a very young girl and found my true passion in the world of quilting in 2007. I took many lessons, learned the hard way: made lots of mistakes, had uneven seams, wonky and uneven blocks, forced the blocks together, and still I have progressed. I love to teach others, after all, since I have made all the mistakes no one else has to. My teaching goals are simple: to let students learn a technique and find their way out of an “ooops” moment. There is nothing that can’t be fixed, and I like to see my students having a stress free, fun-filled time and all the while finishing with a positive experience.
I began teaching quilting in 2009 while working at a quilt shop in Green Valley, AZ. I enjoyed that experience as it forced me to learn even more techniques than I wanted to learn. I have been privileged to speak and teach at several guilds in Arizona, California and Utah – as well as on cruise ships.
The Project: Hattie’s Star Path
I have made quilts for most members of my family- except for my Grandparents who all were deceased before my 18th birthday.
