Carolyn Reese commissioned Philip de Leon, designer with Alexander Henry Fabrics, to create a one-of-a-kind, Road to California 20<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary Fabric. Says Phillip, \u201cWe were flattered to be asked for this project. We were shooting high and wanted to make Carolyn happy. The end result is very \u2018Road\u2019 and very \u2018Alexander Henry.\u2019\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2015-20th-anniversary-show\/roads-20th-anniversary-fabric\/attachment\/ah-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2578\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2578\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/AH-logo-1024x99.jpg\" alt=\"AH logo\" width=\"631\" height=\"61\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a year ago, Carolyn approached Phillip at Quilt Market in Houston and extended the invitation to create a modern print that was contemporary and millennial. She wanted a product that could be sold by the yard and used for shirts, bags, pillows and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design process took two months. It began centered around the state flower of California, the poppy.\u00a0 \u201cThat was a must for Carolyn,\u201d recalled Phillip. It was also important that the fabric represented Road\u2019s \u201ccommunity of quilters\u201d in a graphic way.\u201d Phillip and his sister, co-designer Nicole, got inspiration from graphic artist Alexander Girard who is known for his clean lines and iconic illustrated style. The end result approved by Carolyn includes symbols for the industry and for Road: a sewing machine, the Ontario Convention Center, quilt designs and tools. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2015-20th-anniversary-show\/roads-20th-anniversary-fabric\/attachment\/fabric-road-to-california-blue\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2579\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2579\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fabric-Road-to-California-blue.jpg\" alt=\"Fabric- Road-to-California---blue\" width=\"734\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fabric comes in two backgrounds\u2014Ivory and Blue \u2013 and two weights \u2013 cotton shirting and a heavier canvas. It will be sold at the Road to California Booth in one yard cuts, fat quarters, and cut to order for lengths more than one yard. There will also be shirts for sale at the booth made out of the fabric. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2015-20th-anniversary-show\/roads-20th-anniversary-fabric\/attachment\/fabric-road-to-california-natura\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2580\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2580\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fabric-Road-to-California-natura.jpg\" alt=\"Fabric-Road-to-California---natura\" width=\"811\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will you be making out of Road\u2019s 20<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary Celebration Fabric?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[28],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-2577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-2015-20th-anniversary-show","tag-alexander-henry-fabrics-modern-fabric"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Fabric-Road-to-California-blue.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
