Hand Stitching at Sea with Travelrite and Celebrity Cruises
Come aboard with me on the luxurious Celebrity Edge as we sale around the Pacific Islands, stitching, sipping, sightseeing and enjoying a relaxing time together.
On this 14 day cruise leaving and returning to Sydney we’ll visit Noumea, New Caledonia; Suva, Lautoka, Fiji, Lifou, Loyalty Island; Mystery Island, Vila, and Vanuatu where we will be treated to hosted tours, sights and fabric shops.
While on board the ship join me for five days of stitching bliss! I’m designing two brand new EPP projects, plus I’ll be sharing a small trunk show, discussing how I create my scrappy look, taking a look at my slow stitching style and techniques, as well as sharing all of my best practices for English Paper Piecing.

We will be embarking 24th March and returning 7th April 2027.

Trunk Shows & Demonstrations
I love bringing the magic of slow stitching and English Paper Piecing to guilds, craft groups, and shops! In my trunk shows and demonstrations, I combine storytelling, technique, and visual inspiration, sharing a wide range of completed work and works-in-progress. You’ll get an inside look at my creative process, pattern development, and the art of slow stitching, all in an engaging and interactive way.
Whether it’s a one-hour trunk show, a hands-on demonstration, or a pop-up shop experience, my events are designed to inspire, teach, and connect.
