While assisting guests at Road 2017, the developers of the App were \u201cso blown away by the quilting community,\u201d that they spent the entire past year creating a brand-new app just for quilters \u2013 QuiltSpace. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-to-california-2018\/the-new-and-improved-road-to-california-app\/attachment\/quilt-app-logo2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5456\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5456\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/quilt-app-logo2-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"305\" \/><\/a>\nFor Road 2018, QuiltSpace offers many helpful features. From anywhere on the App, users can <em>swipe left<\/em> to explore the show schedule and create their own custom schedule to make sure they don\u2019t miss any important classes or events.\nUnder the tab <em>Who\u2019s Here <\/em>on the Home Page of the App, guests can see who else is using the App as well as browse through the vendor list. Built-in maps to locate vendor and class locations can be found when clicking on a particular vendor or teacher&#8217;s class. The\u00a0<strong>+<\/strong> tab allows users to share photos to the news feed, providing a digital yearbook of the show\u2019s greatest moments and memories.\nHow do you find QuiltSpace to use on your portable electronic device?

As an incentive to encourage use of the App, they are offering <strong>2 competitions <\/strong>for users to participate in that offer <strong><em>cash prizes<\/em><\/strong>:\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Most Engaged User<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nEach day, Thursday \u2013 Saturday, the <strong>most engaged attendee<\/strong> on the App will be rewarded with <strong>$100 CASH!<\/strong> Announcements will be given each morning on QuiltSpace for details on what the <strong>challenge is for that day<\/strong>.\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Quilter\u2019s Choice Award<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nPictures of the more than 200 quilts accepted for this year&#8217;s quilt contest will be added to the App when the show starts. Users<strong> will be asked to<\/strong> <strong>vote for their favorite winning quilt<\/strong>.\u00a0 On Saturday, January 20<sup>th<\/sup>, <strong>the quilt with the most votes<\/strong> will be unveiled and will receive a <strong>$500 grand prize!<\/strong>\nUse of the QuiltSpace App doesn\u2019t stop when Road 2018 comes to an end on January 21st. It will continue to be a resource for staying in touch with vendors, faculty, and other guests through picture sharing and online chats. And because QuiltSpace was created to be a welcoming space for quilters to engage with each other from one show to the next, look for other shows to be added to the App in the future.\nWhile Road to California hopes its guests find QuiltSpace a welcomed tool for fully participating with the show, we also realize that some guests might still prefer a printed Show Guide. For that reason, <em>a limited supply<\/em> of Show Guides will be available at Road 2018 for $3.00. Guests can also download a copy for their use at http:\/\/www.road2ca.com\/Newsletter\/2018%20SHOW%20GUIDE.pdf\nSee you online at QuiltSpace!!]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[33],"tags":[792,1033,1067,1113],"class_list":["post-5454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-to-california-2018","tag-most-engaged-users-at-road-2018","tag-quilters-choice-award-road-2018","tag-quiltspace","tag-road-to-california-app"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5454\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
