Past NPL Cruises

Needlepoints, Ltd.

Cruising to Stitch Week October 2009


The cruise was a fabulous success!   Margaret created 4 special projects just for this trip-you could choose 1, 4 or none.  Some "cruisers" brought their own canvases/projects to work on as well.  So we had lots of time to stitch, eat, relax and/or go on excursions.  We had time to tour 3 ports- Puerto Vallarta, Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas-and we dodged Hurican Rick by sailing out to sea and coming back around the back side- more time to stitch!   Some "cruisers" went to town, some went snorkeling, some just hung out on one of 13 decks.  We also did a Breast Cancer Walk on the Top Deck to boot.  Plans are in the works for our next cruise-maybe Alaska?????
