Road to California Quilt Show News

Happy to discover this week my quilt “Terra I” has been juried into Road to California, and I just got it back from Houston. Great timing.

Road to California Finale

A friend and fellow certified judge, Linda Rasmussen, serves as the awards clerk each year at Road. This year she also coordinated a special exhibit called Stringy Fowl based on the vintage quilt below owned by collector Julie Silber. Quilts were created by Road’s Judging Floor Staff. This first quilt is by Linda herself. The […]

Grid Quilting Workshop

For the first full day at Road I attended a 6-hour grid class called Quilting on the Grid with Laurie Tigner. We quilted on Handi-Quilter machines, with most students having a machine all to themselves, which was great. Much more experimentation and practice, needless to say. Here are samples of some of the designs we […]

Some of My Road2CA Favorites

For those of us who attend quilt and fiber art shows, it’s always interesting to see which pieces win awards and which do not. As a judge, I don’t always agree, and I accept that’s the way it is. But sometimes, I really don’t understand the decisions. And it’s always heartening when other viewers feel […]

Preview Night–quilts and special exhibits

I was glad to see a special display of The Tentmakers of Cairo right inside the entry to the quilt show. I was also glad to meet Jenny Bowker with the two gentlemen who make the work. She told me American Quilters Society had an exclusive with the tentmakers, but it’s expired. So they are […]

Quilt Shops Galore

We were headed to Ontario for the Road to California evening preview. But we had plenty of time to visit three quilt shops on the way. Each had its own flavor, but my favorite was the first: Temecula Quilt Co. It’s not a large shop, and it’s located in a mall, which is not particularly […]

Rolling on to Vista and Temecula

On our second full day of the trip, we traveled to the town of Vista and Fat Quarters Quilt Shop located in an old farm house. The shop is two floors and full of nooks and crannies chock full of fabric, notions, patterns, and samples. After two hours of perusing and shopping, we headed to […]

On the Road Again

I made it to San Diego in the midst of our latest snowstorm, but it took some doing. When I made the reservation with the cab company, I warned them how bad the roads were in the hills where I live. I called a cab, because we couldn’t get our vehicles safely out and down […]

On the Road to California–Barely

Yes, I am going to leave tomorrow for the Road to California Quilt Show in Ontario by way of a first stop in San Diego, but I was thinking I wasn’t going to make it. Portland was hit by an unexpectedly heavy snowstorm Tuesday afternoon thru Wednesday morning. We were supposed to get 1 – […]

It’s a Good Thing–or Rather They Are

Before I launch into another blog post about the International Quilt Festival, other good things have been happening. I received a yes to my submission from the Road to California Quilt Show for my quilt “Z is for Zinnia, C is for Cosmos,” the same quilt that won an Honorable Mention in Houston. Show dates […]
