It was Allan\u2019s sister who taught Donn how to sew. Donn has been quilting for 4-5 years and considers himself a modern quilter. He quit a full time corporate job to work in a quilt store in Morro Bay, The Cotton Ball<\/em><\/a>, and helps customers use the longarm machine at the store. \u201cThere\u2019s so much to see\u201d at Road, said Donn. \u201cThe quilts are beautiful and there is a wide variety of vendors.\u201d\n\"\"<\/a>\nJohn likes to come to Road and meet up with this three friends that he affectionately calls, the \u201cTriplets of Bellville.\u201c The four met in Paris in 2008 in a study abroad, Art History class sponsored by the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California.\u00a0 John was a team teacher with two other professors and took on the role of \u201cbodyguard\u201d for the three women during their one month stay in Paris.
