\t\t\t\t the half square triangle<\/strong>.\"\"<\/a>\nThe classes were actually titled: Mystery Half Square Triangle <\/em>because as Jenny explained, you can create literally 252 different versions of a half square triangle, providing limitless (and mysterious) possibilities for quilt top designs.\nJenny says everything she does has to be \u201cquick and easy.\u201d If any of her classes or YouTube weekly tutorials <\/a>look hard, \u201cit\u2019s a lie.\u201d They are meant to show different methods to get you started so that you don\u2019t have to \u201cremember everything\u201d when you are on your own.\nTo create a half square triangle block, Jenny says to:\n1) Take two square pieces of fabric (you decide the size) and lay on top of each other, right sides together.\"\"<\/a>\n2) Stitch along the outside\n3) Cut on the diagonal\"\"<\/a>\n4) Press open and create!!\"\"<\/a>\nEach student received a handout that shows the 252 different versions of the half square triangle that they could put together. In addition, all around the room were examples of half square triangle quilts to inspire the students.\"\"<\/a>\nJenny McKinsey from Porterville, California has been quilting for 7 years and was attending Road for the fifth time. She always comes to Road with four friends. They share the ride down from Northern California and a hotel room during the show. While Jenny regularly watches the Missouri Star Quilt Co\u2019s weekly YouTube videos, she took the class because she thought \u201cit would be fun\u201d to experience Jenny Doan in person.\"\"<\/a>\nA quilter for over 50 years, Linda McGregor has traveled from her home in Wyoming 15 times to attend Road to California. She started her quilting journey making tied quilts and today loves to make wedding ring and other traditional patterns. Like Jenny McKinsey, Linda has been watching Jenny Doan\u2019s weekly tutorials for many years. When Linda found out that Jenny Doan was going to be a teacher at Road 2018, she \u201csigned up as soon as I could.\u201d Linda said that Jenny was \u201cjust as wonderful in person as she is on her videos. I haven\u2019t seen a quilt in the classroom that I don\u2019t want to make.\u201d Linda likes coming to Road because \u201cthere is always something new. Everyone is warm and welcoming.\u201d\"\"<\/a>\nAlso seen in Jenny Doan\u2019s classroom was her husband, Ron. He says he helps Jenny at home and in the classroom, answering questions from quilters.\"\"<\/a>\nRon says, \u201cI help wherever I can with the little things\u201d whether it be working on quilt machines or in the warehouse. What did Ron think about his first experience with Road to California? He admitted that he didn\u2019t know what he was coming and that he was surprised to see how big Road is.\u201c Road to California is pretty awesome.\u201d And we would have to agree!!\n \n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
