\t\t\t\tRoad to California prides itself on offering a variety of quilt classes<\/a> to a variety of quilting levels, all taught by the best quilt teachers from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\nScheduling quilt classes for Road 2019 began right after Road 2018 closed its doors on January 21, 2018. First, we reviewed class surveys for responses to classes just concluded. We also spent time going to other nationally known quilt shows to visit their quilt classes and meet prospective new teachers. A tentative schedule was put together in late Spring and was fine tuned before announcing class offerings in late May.\nIn July, when registration began, we got to see right away how our planning turned out. Almost immediately, it was easy to tell which quilt classes were most popular, which were gaining interest, and which didn\u2019t resonate well with our guests. We usually give classes 2-3 months to see how their registration is panning out before any changes are made to the schedule. \u00a0Our Show Owner, Matt Reese, makes the final decision of whether a class will be dropped or if additional units need to be added.\nSo far, we have had to drop a few quilt classes where attendance was lacking and replace them with other quilt classes. Some of the quilt classes that were added were already being offered and the instructor agreed to teach another unit of the same class:\nDiane Kirkhart<\/a> has added two more Millefiori technique classes.\n\n\n
