This episode is a whirlwind tour through Leslie’s epic 8-day European river cruise, complete with Viking Cruises’ top-tier service and some emotional stops in Paris, Normandy, and Bruges. We dive into the highlights like scenic canal rides and historical chateau visits where dining history truly came to life. Of course, it wouldn't be a travel story without some drama, including flight delays and a spicy encounter with a local at a French gift shop. Leslie is already looking ahead to a 2028 Danube cruise, proving that the travel bug has officially bitten. It’s a perfect mix of cultural deep-dives and savvy traveler tips.

Back on the home front, we’re pivoting from passports to presser feet as Rochelle shares her latest sewing room updates and upcoming adventures. We’re talking about the hunt for the perfect serger table, the excitement for the Riley Blake "Road to Oklahoma" fabric launch on June 1st, and Rochelle’s incredible charity work with Project Linus and human trafficking recovery programs. Plus, there’s some serious travel envy with Rochelle’s upcoming birthday trip to Japan for cherry blossom season and Disney. Between car tire mishaps and museum-worthy quilts, this session covers everything from the heart of Oklahoma to the streets of Tokyo. Get ready for plenty of inspiration for your next project or plane ticket!
