Pam and Vicki came to Road 2020 on a bus chartered by their guild, El Camino Quilters.<\/a> (El Camino Quilters was one of the winners for the Road Guild Challenge at the show) Both women feel that their participation in quilt guilds has made a difference in their quilting. For a time, Vicki lived in the New York\/New Jersey area and belonged to the Garden State Quilters Guild. Pam\u2019s husband was in the Navy. Wherever he was deployed, Pam would find and join the local quilt guild. She has also worked in several quilt shops and has even taught quilting. Regarding Road 2020, Vicki said that the quilts were \u201csome of the best I\u2019ve seen in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
