2016 Road 2 California Quilt Show and Goodies I Bought

My sister and I spent three days at the quilt show this year, and one of our long time friends was able to meet us there for the day.

The view out of our hotel window is of Mt. Baldy in the San Gabriel mountain range - we grew up with this view, and always love coming back to this area of California.

This is this years winning quilt.  Doesn't it look like you could just pull the pillows off the selves?

I'm not a quilter like my sister, but that doesn't mean that I don't find great things to buy from the vendors - here are a few treasures - new block print fabric, vintage and new trims and buttons as well as a new paisley block for printing and fabric paints (not pictured).

Road 2 California Quilt Show 2011

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last posted to my blog!  The old saying, time flies when you are having fun, applies here.  I have been enjoying my family and we have been doing things together in this beautiful Southern California weather.

My sister, Jodi, and I have an annual tradition of attending the Road 2 California quilt show.  If you ever have a chance to go, you will really enjoy it.

I took pictures of some of the art quilts that interested me most, but there are numerous traditional quilts as well.  Click each picture for a larger and closer view.

Another highlight that we look forward to is the vendors.  Jodi is a traditional quilter, but I like to work with antique and vintage textiles.  There are vendors for both of us.  Here are the items I picked up:  vintage fabric, lace and French ribbon.

Ontario Quilt Show - Road 2 California

My sister Jodi treated me to a day at the Road 2 California quilt show in Ontario.  We had a great day, saw wonderful quilts and shopped at nearly every one of the 165 vendors.  Whew, that was a lot of shopping.  I took a few pictures of the quilts that I thought you might like to see.

Hemet Quilt Show - February 2008

The Hemet quilt show is a wonderful little quilt show. Everyone is given a glove upon entry so that touching the quilts is allowed - and we all know that the urge to touch the quilts is very powerful. It gives you the opportunity to get up real close to the quilts, and to turn them over to look at the backs and stitches. The Valley Quilters ladies are on hand to explain the quilts in such a friendly manner.

My sister, Jodi, and I had a great time at the Road 2 California quilt show this year. It is held in Ontario, California at the convention center. I took just a few pictures of some of the beautiful quilts that were on display.
