Utah
Mammoth Lava Tube Exploring
Looking back on my childhood growing up in Utah, I have fond memories of the times my family spent exploring the area. We loved to go camping each summer, spending time hiking and exploring caves, visiting Lagoon (THE theme park of Utah), going to college football games, fishing in the lakes and rivers and spending time outdoors. I was never really a fan of the snow, but I do recall good times going tubing, sledding, and even cross-country skiing.
Although I have lived outside of Utah in many states across this nation, Utah feels like coming home. My children learned to ski here. We have spent time at Lake Powell, visited many of the National Parks here and thoroughly enjoy the red rocks of Southern Utah.
Come visit this beautiful state and see what it has to offer. If you already live here and haven't been out to explore, I recommend it highly.
If you want to venture outside our little world, let me help you find somewhere to go that will peak your curiosity and enhance your knowledge of the globe.

My dream of an ideal quilting retreat
Reviewed By Mimi - Tucson, Arizona | Traveled to Zion National Park ~ Utah ~ USA
Michelle responded to every email and offered help all along the registration process until I arrived at Red Rock Villa. The entire retreat was perfect. Meals were great and plentiful. The location provided exercise opportunities and places to just chill and read. If I could have designed the ideal retreat, this would have been it.

Just a small note to say thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication, attention to details, and all around fantastic trip. This was my first cruise, and a quilting one to boot, how could it get much better. You made it seamless for me with your assistance and patience in all my questions and concerns prior to the trip. Thank you for all the goodies, instructions, and most of all, your bright smiles and caring attitude. I truly appreciated everything you did. Although this was my first cruise, I’m sure it will not be my last. I will definitely look you up when I’m able to take another trip.

From the very first time I got in touch with Michelle about the Mystery Cruise she was wonderful and answered all my questions. I an handicapped and I needed a handicapped room on the cruise ship. I also asked Michelle about getting an electric scooter for me to use on board the ship and when I got off to see the sights at the different stops. She made all of the arrangements and my scooter was in my State room when I opened the door and was charged and ready for use. It was a wonderful cruise and I look forward to another one sponsored by Material Girls Quilt Boutique. All in all I would give Michelle the highest ratings for planning the trip to arranging the things I needed aboard the ship and making sure that everyone was having fun. I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an agent to arrangement a trip for them.

The trip was well organized from the very beginning. Hotels were right in the heart of every city, easy access to bus, tube, or walking to restaurants and sites. All of the hotels had fantastic breakfasts and excellent accommodations. The tour guides and bus drivers were very knowledgeable and just plain fun. Gary, my favorite, had chocolates for us every time we got on the bus. We skimmed across England seeing London, Burlington( attended the fantastic Festival of Quilts, Avon where Shakespeare was born, Glasgow and my favorite York. In Scotland we headed for Inverness, isle of Skye, battle grounds, and two more mills. We ended the two weeks in Edinburgh where we toured her majesties Royal Yacht the Britannia. Of course there were a few castles along the way. Now have 14 new friends and lots of memories. Thanks Michelle

Michelle and Jackie are the friendliest, most helpful and fun travel service I have had the pleasure to use. She answered all my questions, provided necessary coordination of my trip no matter what I asked or thought I required for myself or my husband. Quilting at Sea was a fabulous experience! The planning of on-board and port excursions and group events were well thought out and meant to bring us together as quilters and fellow travelers. The focus project and the mini projects kept us interested and challenged throughout the quilting sessions. The instructor Lisa Moore creator of "Quilts with a Twist" was phenomenal I was so proud of my finished quilt.

Reviewed By Winnie - Navarre, Fl. | Traveled to
This was my first quilt cruise and was a very good experience. Especially enjoyed the instructor, Sue Hauseman, who was fun, patient and so knowledgeable. The chosen ship was a good one as I have been on several ships and do not like the huge ones. The only problem was being so close to San Blas island with the molas and not getting to go there. However, we were able to purchase them on the ship. I liked the way Michelle was there if needed and did not hover over you. She had several surprises ready for us and all in the class were friendly and fun. Another one maybe someday.
