Road to California

Road to California is a quilters conference and showcase.  More than 42,000 visitors from all 50 states and several foreign countries come each January to view exhibits featuring antique, traditional, art and modern quilts designed by both national and international quilt groups. A vibrant vendor mall of over 225 nationally and internationally known retailers feature the very latest to see, try and buy in quilt making supplies, machines, notions, antique quilts and gift items. Classes taught by a distinguished faculty are geared to all levels of quilters, offering assistance with traditional to modern techniques, hand and machine quilting skills and the latest in surface-embellishment using paint, thread and embroidery. Join us at Road to California Quilters Conference in Ontario, California for a complete immersion into the quilting world.

Most of us who knit or crochet are eventually drawn into an ever-increasing spiral of related crafts.  There are a lot of things out there to draw our attention and tempt us with new skills.

One of the things that I am fascinated by is quilting.  I love the combinations of colors and patterns and the intricate stitchwork that brings it all together.  It is one of my resolutions for this year to complete at least one quilt.

So, in the spirit of always wanting to learn, or for those of you who are way ahead of me and have been quilting for years, I wanted to tell you about a quilting event happening in So Cal this weekend.

The show is open Thursday thru Sunday at the Ontario Convention Center.
