Thank you for vlogging! I know it is more work and gear and less time to relax, but selfishly so appreciated.

Welcome to Vancouver. Thanks for bringing the sun with you.

I would KILL to cruise with you and other quilters 🥰

I gotta say those graphics - absolutely fantastic! That sewing needle thread that turns into fishing line- genius! Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy!

You are a real trooper! Bon Voyage and looking forward to ongoing updates.

I'm so happy that you will vlog your trip. I wanted to take this cruise but was not able to this year. Hope to do it another time. Happy Cruising!

Have a great cruise! Looking forward to following along on your trip.

I just had a look on Your video about masking tape again and can’t describe how helpful this hint has been to develope my sewing accuracy and now my first Quilt Top is already done :) Have a great trip!!!

What a lovely pre cruise journey you’ve had! It was great to see your home surroundings and the airport!

so excited and happy for you. I've been to Alaska twice...loved both times. I've been on two quilting cruises...and yes there were ups and downs with both, but I do love cruising and can't wait for your "shares!" Enjoy the beauty of our 49th state.

Thank you so much for taking us along with you. I really wanted to cruise with you but just couldn’t afford it at this time. I have cruised to Alaska three times and I loved every cruise. One was a quilting cruise & I look forward to see how you manage the quilting end of things.

I can’t wait to watch the vlog about Alaska. We cruised to Alaska from Seattle. We live in Connecticut. Have fun!

Looks amazing, have a fantastic time.

Fantastic I have never been on a cruise so this will be fun seeing what it like.

Yeah!! You are coming to my home state. It’s so beautiful here. I’m in the Kenai peninsula. Hope I run into you at a quilt store or out fishing! 😉

Have a good time ❤️

Have fun!

Have a lovely time Karen

So exciting!! Safe travels! Also your vlogging game is on point, I love the latitude and longitude details in particular, I love writing down coordinates in my travel journal, so fun

Have fun!!

How fun to go on a quilting cruise! I wish I would have known about this, maybe next one.

hope you have a wonderful trip, I so wish I had gone, maybe next time.

Wonderful, enjoy your time family, cruise and flights also sight seeing.

I'm excited to follow your adventure via RU-vid! Poor Mando, our vet used to call that suitcase flu🐕

We are taking an Alaskan cruise in September. Have fun 🤩

I love your dog!!!! What kind is he, I have had oddies of poodles, and he looks like one! you should know that thwy are just too smart for us to sneak off. They are so smart, just lost my female Rosie to breast cancer at 13 and my Zigmond is going to be 17 in July!!!!! I am going to miss my little man so much, I have no words !!! I think your boy is beautiful!!

I hope you have an amazing trip and look forward to your videos. Stay safe🤗

What great fun!

Yay! Glad things went smoothly. My husband & I have wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise for a while, but haven’t. Hopefully someday. But, for now, I’ll enjoy yours. 🙃
