Joan heard about Road from some of her \u201cSit and Sew\u201d friends. Joan is new to quilting. She started a year and a half ago making traditional quilts. Joan says she likes the idea of \u201ccreating something unique to you.\u201d She was really interested to see what Road had to offer and found it to be \u201cmindboggling.\u201d Mike brought Joan to the show. He shared that he had no idea about all the award exhibits and that he found the quilts to be very \u201cintricate.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4935\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4935\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4935\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/01c8edeb7fda21a1a7d75a8415633a46e04319d0d9-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a>\nPaul and Kim came from Carlsbad, California. It was their third time at the show. Paul is an amateur photographer and enjoys taking pictures at the show with Kim in them. Kim has been a sewer \u201cforever\u201d and a quilter for \u201ca couple years.\u201d She is glad that they don\u2019t live too far away so they can see up close all that Road has to offer. Besides taking pictures, Paul enjoys seeing the art quilts and other \u201cunusual things.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4937\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4937\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4937\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/011995921a298d0377e282703b2a29ad2941212509-810x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"597\" \/><\/a>\nBoth Pam and Tom are involved in quilting. Pam has been quilting since the early 1980\u2019s while Tom has been doing longarm quilting since 2005. They have been long time fans of Road to California.
