Cruise Collective is heading to the Festival of Quilts
We’re excited to share that Cruise Collective will be at this year’s Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.

We'll be joining forces with Ambassador Cruise Line for a weekend of creativity, conversation and a little travel inspiration too.

From 31 July to 3 August, you’ll find us at the NEC, right at the heart of the UK’s biggest patchwork and quilting event. Drop by our stand to meet the team, chat cruises and find out how your love of craft could take you somewhere entirely new.

We’re also thrilled that Julie Peasgood will be joining us across the weekend. As well as being a well-known TV presenter and writer, Julie is the face of Ambassador’s Craft Cruises and will be there to talk about her upcoming trips, the workshops she hosts on board and why stitching at sea is something everyone should try at least once.

There’ll be live crafting, friendly expert advice and the chance to book your next craft-themed cruise then and there. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just cruise-curious, it’s a great way to explore how the two worlds come together.
