\t\t\t\tRoad to California is the perfect place for a family outing!!<\/p>\n\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_4957\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"466\"]\"\"<\/a> (l-r) Rebecca, Nicholas, Pearl, Cameron and Daniel[\/caption]\nThe Medina family from Moreno Valley, California says quilting and coming to Road is \u201ca family affair.\u201d Young Nicholas is a big fan of Eleanor Burns. He\u2019s been watching her on TV since he was 5 years old. His grandma Pearl shops at Eleanor\u2019s store in San Diego county. One time, she brought Nicholas with her when there was a sale going on. Nicholas marched right up to Eleanor and asked her if she had any cowboy fabric. They struck up a friendship and for the past 3 years, Nicholas and his family have come to Road to meet up with Eleanor and her son, Orion. \u00a0It was about that same time that Nicholas began sewing on his great-grandma\u2019s machine. He says he prefers to sketch out his own patterns.\nGrandma Pearl has been coming to Road for 10 years. She has sewn since she was a little girl and has been quilting for the past 15-20 years. She is sharing her knowledge with her daughter, Rebecca, who started sewing twenty-one years ago when she was 7. Rebecca has joined her mom at Road for the past four years and says, \u201ccoming with my mom to Road is something we share together.\u201d\nAfter attending Road for the past 2 years, Daniel Ganczak, Pearl\u2019s son-in-law, became interested in quilting and bought his own sewing machine. He says he is \u201cpracticing for now,\u201d getting ideas and fabric and relaxing during the show. In 2017, Daniel brought his son, Cameron, who said that he was so inspired by Road and his family, he wants to start quilting and join his cousin with the family hobby.\n[caption id=\"attachment_4958\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"391\"]\"\"<\/a> Cousins Cameron and Nicholas[\/caption]\nAnother family from Moreno Valley came to share a day together at Road.

Larry \u201cdidn\u2019t realize how involved quilting was\u201d and was \u201camazed\u201d at seeing how detailed the quilts on display were. Jay couldn\u2019t believe \u201chow many different ways there are to quilt.\u201d Scarlet was hoping to get some ideas to start her first quilt and Lulu was enjoying all the \u201cfree stuff\u2019 that the vendors were handing out.
