Atrium Quilts\nTradition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Road to\nCalifornia knew early on that the beautiful, light filled main hallway of the\nOntario Convention Center could provide a remarkable welcoming statement to the\nguests who arrived at Road to California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004, local quilt guilds were asked to supply the Atrium Quilts. That year, the quilts were placed along the walls. It was in 2011 that the Atrium Quilts hung for the first time from the ceiling. Then show owner, Carolyn Reese picked a theme for those Atrium Quilts, \u201cSo. Cal Ice Storm,\u201d and local guilds were encouraged to participate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following year, in 2012, began the current tradition of inviting one local quilt guild to provide the Atrium Quilts made by its members. The first quilt guild to participate was the South Bay Quilter<\/a>s<\/a> Guild<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

25th<\/sup>\nAnniversary Show Atrium Quilts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Road to\nCalifornia 2020, the Inland Empire Modern Quilt Guild was asked to provide the Atrium\nQuilts. The guild reported that they felt \u201cvery fortunate\u201d to be asked to\nparticipate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President, Gayle\nBennett, helped gather the quilts from guild members. Gayle kept the quilts at\nher home, delivered them to Road, retrieved them after the show and delivered\nthem back to their quilters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did\nIEMQG provide the Atrium Quilts, they also had three members who had quilts displayed\nin the Road to California Quilt Showcase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guild\nmembers, Kelly and Simone, had their diptych juried into the show<\/p>\n\n\n\n
