One lucky winner will be chosen as the Grand Prize Winner of 4 days of classes at Road 2017, a 4 night stay at a local hotel near the Ontario Convention Center, and first pick for registering for the classes before registration is open to the public. Last year\u2019s winner of the Quilter\u2019s Run Grand Prize sponsored by Road to California was Tom Preston of Apple Valley, California.\nHow else can you enter to win first choice of registering for 4 days of classes and 4 nights at a local hotel for the next Road to California Show? Come to Road 2017 and enter the Tin Lizzie<\/a>\u00a0Contest.\"10449936_687061004663732_9059865355839369205_n\"<\/a>\nThat\u2019s exactly what Sherryl Zurek did at the Road 2015 Show. Sheryl had attended Road for \u201cat least 15 years.\u201d She entered the contest because her friends were entering, and as Sheryl put it, \u201cIf you don’t enter, you can’t win.\u201d<\/strong> Sheryl did not expect to win so when she heard she had won, she thought someone was playing a trick on her.\u00a0 \u201cI was flabbergasted!\u00a0 Then I became very excited.\u00a0 It meant a lot to me to win because my young dog had passed away 2 months prior and my car with all my sewing gear had been stolen 1 month prior.\u00a0 I really looked forward to going to Road 2016. Whenever I got sad, I reminded myself that I had the retreat coming up!\u201d\nThe classes Sherryl picked at Road 2016 were: The Thrill of The Fill by Linda Taylor changed to background Fills <\/em>by Karen Sievert; Carry On Travel Bag<\/em> by Annie Unrein; Mystical Shapes<\/em> by Jamie Wallen; and Feather Fills<\/em> by Laurie Tigner. She chose the 3 longarm classes to help her improve her quilting and took the carry-on bag class because she wanted a custom travel bag.\"Sherryl<\/a>\nSherryl felt her classes gave her confidence to do some really neat quilting. She remarked that the teachers were very inspiring, and helped all their students to recreate some of the techniques they used. \u00a0She added, \u201cMy fellow students were very friendly; it was like getting back together with friends you haven’t seen for some time.\u201d\n[caption id=\"attachment_3869\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"555\"]\"New<\/a> New Quilting Friends (l-r) Robin McKnight, Michelle Shook, and Sherryl Zurek[\/caption]\nEven though Sherryl just lived 45 minutes from the Ontario Convention Center, she loved staying at the Road hotels because she didn\u2019t have to make the drive each day and didn\u2019t have to get herself up so early to make it to her classed. For Sherryl, it was \u201clike a mini-vacation.\u201d\nWhat did Sheryl think of the experience? \u201cI had the most wonderful time at Road on my Retreat this year.\u00a0 Road is an amazing quilt show!\u00a0 I highly recommend attending and taking classes, for everyone. I learn something new in every class I go to.\u00a0 I also highly recommend signing up for the drawings; you never know when it might be your name that is drawn!\u201d\nAnd so it continues\u2026\nAt Road 2016, the winner for the Tin Lizzie Road to California Retreat was Mary Van De Brake, a resident of San Dimas, California. Mary said she entered the contest because \u201cshe was excited about Tin Lizzie\u2019s shorter, 5 foot long arm machine. I completely forgot about (entering) as I never seem to have my name drawn. I was ecstatic when Carolyn Reese called and told me that I had won.\u201d\nMary has never taken a class at Road before. She wants to sign up for a doll or fairy class as \u201cthey are hard to come by locally.\u201d By staying in a hotel, \u201cI don\u2019t have to worry about parking.\u201d Mary has already shared \u201cthis adventure\u201d with many of her friends and can\u2019t wait for Road 2017 to get here.\nThank you to Tin Lizzie and Road to California for sponsoring these once in a lifetime prizes.\nWill you be the next winner?<\/strong> You won\u2019t know if you don\u2019t enter!!]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
