Meet Cecilia,\u00a0Joan, Carolyn, and Ann. These four friends quilt at Grace Lutheran Church in Upland, California. They have been going to Road together for the past 10 years because \u201cwe have fun.\u201d They enjoy seeing Eleanor Burns, the quilts on display and buying batting for the quilts they make for their church group. Last year, their group donated 154 quilts to various organizations. They\u2019ve started making dog beds out of the scraps from their quilts and are donating those to local animal shelters and to homeless people with pets. As Carolyn said, \u201cWe don\u2019t waste anything!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donna Nordstrom and Joanna Larmore started coming to Road 17 years ago as young moms looking for something to get out of the house and enjoy doing something together. Since then, Joanna moved out of state, so their annual trip to Road is a way for them to reconnect. \u201cIt\u2019s our refuge every year to do,\u201d said Donna. Added Joanna, \u201cWe get to see the future of quilting at Road.\u201d This year, not only did they enjoy the show for three days, they also participated in the Marcus Brothers Textiles Challenge<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patsy and Cherie live in the high desert north of Los Angeles. They met in a knitting group and belong to the Tehachapi Quilt Guild. They\u2019ve been coming to Road together for the past 7 years. Last year, they took their first bus trip as part of their Road experience, led by the Traveling Quilters. Patsy said it was \u201can excellent tour\u201d and another \u201cnice\u201d Road feature.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terri and Ann came to Road from Northern California. Terri has been quilting for 20 years and Ann for 10. Terri remarked, “We come to Road to get inspired,” and “To see the quilting,” added Ann.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day is Friendship Day during Road to California. What could be better than sharing the \u201cBest in the West\u201d experience than with people who are just as passionate as you are with quilting?
