\t\t\t\tKarla and Karen took Jenny Doan\u2019s class together at Road 2018 as a chance to meet up and<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

learn some new quilting skills. Karla is a retired teacher living in Alta Loma, California and Karen lives in San Diego. For 15 years when she was teaching, Karla helped her students create 12- block quilts as a memory of all they learned in her class that year. Now that she is retired, Karla uses her free time to take advantage of taking classes at Road for the first time, quilting at home, and embroidering. Karen has been to Road to California 8 times and \u201cabsolutely loves it.\u201d\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nBoth sisters were familiar with Jenny Doan and looked forward to taking her class together. Karen watches Jenny\u2019s YouTube Tutorials all the time and was \u201cblown away\u201d at her Trunk Show on Friday night. \u00a0Karla has been to Missouri Star Quilt\u2019s home in Hamilton, Missouri twice. She refers to it as \u201cDisneyland for quilters.\u201d\n \n\n\n

There\u2019s no better place to spend a \u201cSister\u2019s Week\u201d then Road to California says Cheryl,<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Sandy,and DeNese. All three sisters are quilters. DeNese started quilting in 2012 when she retired from Delta Airlines. Cheryl was inspired to start quilting from her mother-in-law. Sandy figured that since her sisters were quilting, she might as well too. They get together two or three times a year to share quilting techniques and go to quilt demonstrations. They enjoy piecing, paper piecing, and collage applique and make quilts for their children and grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\"\"<\/a>\nAs far as their opinion of Road to California, DeNese, who lives in Utah, said, \u201cIt is bigger than anything I have been to and I spent more money than I thought.\u201d Cheryl, who also lives in Utah, said that Road was \u201cReally fun. I thought I would get bored but there were so many interesting things to see.\u201d And Sandy, a resident of Palm Desert, California, commented, \u201cThere are lots of gadgets to make quilting easier that I didn\u2019t know existed.\u201d\n \n\n\n

These three sisters and one sister-in-law all have their roots in Iowa. As quilters, they chose<\/p>\n\n\nRoad to California 2018 for their \u201cSister\u2019s Retreat.\u201d Karla lives in Escondido, California and planned their retreat to include Road. Karla has attended five times in the past, but for everyone else, it was their first time. When the Road 2018 class schedule was posted in July, the women were notified that an Aunt had left them money in her will. Karla said \u201cit was a sign\u201d that they should use the money and take classes at Road. They each took two classes plus attended Preview Night and Jenny Doan\u2019s Trunk Show. And of course, they did a lot of shopping!!\"\"<\/a>\nAll four are established quilters. Oldest sister Karen, Karla and Pam grew up sewing. Their grandmother taught them how to quilt and they\u2018ve been quilting for 30 years. Sister-in-law Liza learned how to sew in a 7th<\/sup> grade Home Economics class. Her quilting influence came from her mother and grandmother.\u00a0 She said that she couldn\u2019t believe \u201chow many people are here\u201d at Road and was excited to see so many other quilters, especially those who had quilts in the show.\nWill you be bringing a sibling to Road 2019?]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
