Wow! What a terrific show! I just returned from Road to California in Ontario (east of Los Angeles). My friend and fabulous machine quilter, Janet\u00a0 Stuart and I entered our first quilt collaboration into the show, and we were awarded 3rd place!<\/p>\n
The quilts at Road to California were\u00a0spectacular! Janet and I were proud to be accepted, and humbled to receive an award\u00a0from the judges. The\u00a0award winners<\/a>\u00a0are listed on the Road to CA website.<\/p>\n Working under a short-term deadline, the quilt was originally designed in 2006 to feature my Timeless Treasures Textural fabric line.\u00a0 The large quilt’s appliqu\u00e9 took longer than expected, and\u00a0was not displayed in the fabric booth at Market that year.<\/p>\n I had a great time with friends Cheri Meineke-Johnson and Janet Stuart as they worked in Cheri’s Crystals<\/a>\u00a0booth. Cheri sells beautiful Swarovski crystals that are applied with a special heat tool to fabric. Her award-winning quilts with quilter Linda V.\u00a0Taylor are gorgeous!<\/p>\n Lois Smith, USA<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Christine Porter, Bristol, England<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Pam Holland, Australia<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow!
