Road to California....

 
 
 
As I mentioned earlier, this was my first time to attend Road to California, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  If you ever have the opportunity to attend, I think you would enjoy it.  It is a shoppers paradise for quilters.
 
 
There were beautiful quilts hanging from the rafters at the convention center in Ontario, California.....and art quilts lining the halls.  This is the point at which I hyperventilated just a bit.

 
My condition steadily increased.....I became over whelmed with excitement....

 
And enthusiasm.....

 
And the creative juices were flowing! :-)

 
I captured just a fraction of the amazing quilts that hung in the main entrance hall.

 
The quilts came from many parts of the United States.

 
A unique monochromatic quilt with traditional blocks, but set in a modern format.

 
What an interesting quilt made from bars.

 
A striking sampler quilt framed by the flying geese.

 
Gorgeous art quilts...

 
I especially loved this fox.....

 
and I loved the many owl quilts.

 
Isn't he wonderful?

  2. Thanks so much for sharing!! The quilts were wonderful! I hope you got some pictures of your friend's booth! It got my vote for the best vendor at Road last year! I still go back and savour the pictures!

  3. These quilts are really beautiful and inspiring! I haven't made it Road to California yet but need to plan for it. I wonder if the styles of quilts differ any from PIQF (which is the only other big show I've been too). I dream of going to the Houston show someday but maybe I should check out more of what is in my own state first.
    I loved the elephant quilt :-)
    Thank you for the treat!
