\t\t\t\tRoad to California 2018 hosted 42,000 guests!!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nSome came from just down the freeway; some came from across the United States; and some came from different countries. One of those countries was Canada. These guests came not only to escape the cold but to find quilt inspiration and products that are difficult to get north of the border.\"\"<\/a>\nTerryl and Kris are sisters. Terryl lives in Walnut, California and Kris is from British Columbia, Canada. Kris also brought with her her \u201cquilting buddy,\u201d Maureen, another British Columbia resident. \u00a0Kris and Maureen belong to the same quilt guild, the Horsetty Quilt Club. All three have spent decades quilting and have attended Road to California 5 times.\nPart of their Road experience was going on one of the bus tours prior to the show opening. They were looking forward to visiting Robert Kaufman Fabrics<\/a><\/strong> on the tour. What do they like best about Road? Terryl likes all the variety<\/strong> the show has to offer as well as meeting new people<\/strong>. Kris couldn\u2019t get enough of the beautiful quilts<\/strong>. \u00a0And for Maureen, she liked escaping the snow<\/strong>.\"\"<\/a>\nAlso on the bus tour were two more Canadians, Susan and Jean, from British Columbia. This was their third Road bus trip which is always led by The Traveling Quilters<\/a>, Lynn Crawford and Pam Overton. Susan and Jean not only enjoy seeing quilts together, they also work together. Susan is a family doctor and Jean is her office manager. Susan has been quilting for five years while Jean describes herself as a \u201cfabric artist.\u201d Jean doesn\u2019t quilt but she does sew, paint, and enjoys \u201ceverything arty.\u201d They were looking forward to seeing some of the sites of Los Angeles<\/strong> on the tour like Farmers Market and the Graber Olive House. Both ladies took classes<\/strong> before the show started. They learned how to work with silk and how to use the C<\/a>urvalicious Ruler.\u00a0<\/em>\"\"<\/a>\nLiz and Dougal (Ann) live in Vancouver, British Columbia and for the past 12 years have served on committees for the Canadian Quilters Association\u2019s Quilt Canada Show<\/a>, a national, juried show. Liz helps with lectures and workshops. Ann is Co-Chair. In 2018, the show will be held May 31-June 2nd<\/sup> at the Vancouver Convention Center.\nRoad 2018 was their first time at the show. Liz and Ann remarked that they like to plan trips around quilt shows to places they have never been before. They had heard Road \u201cwas a good show\u201d and were not disappointed. They loved the quilts, the vendors<\/strong>, the ideas<\/strong> and they really enjoyed \u201cPreview Night.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cIt was fabulous,\u201d said Ann.\nHow far will you travel to get to Road in 2019? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
