road 2 ca 2008

Yesterday I attended Road 2 California in Ontario. Here are some quilts for you to enjoy:

Fall Into Spring by Cheryl See. This quilt won the Excellence in Hand Quilting prize. I love the delicate leaves and glowing colors.
Warmth of the Sun by Kathy Shier. She created the center medallion in 2001 and made the setting six years later. So you see, there is hope for the rest of us with our stacks of UFOs.
Roundabout by Joyce Paterson. I always enjoy Karen Stone patterns. They’re such delicious eye candy!

Cinque Terra by Evelyn Brown. She made this lovely pictorial quilt with her friendship group, the Sew N Sews. (detail below)

Little pieces of dimensional laundry hang out the windows of the buildings in this block.

And finally, an art bra from the Crazy Cups exhibit:

My Flower Garden by Donna Hamilton. Wonderful beaded fringe!

I also got to see Crazy for Flowers by Allison Ann Aller in the $100,000 Quilting Challenge exhibit. All I can say is “WOW!” Really amazing. Be sure to check out the details here.

I have more pix to show, but I didn’t properly document them, so I’ll be sure to mark down the info when I go back tomorrow so I can share them with you.

  1. I am so glad you got to stop by and say hello to my quilt there at Road! I haven’t seen it for almost a year…
    The quilt pics from the show are wonderful! Thanks so much for posting…more please, when you get a chance!

  2. I am jealous you got to see Allie’s quilt! I assume my Little Flower Urchins was there too (I think it was on the docket) but since you saw it at IQF, that’s a bit anti-climactic.

    Was the show well attended?

  3. Debra,
    Yes, Little Flower Urchins was there. I didn’t stop at the Hoffman Challenge exhibit on Friday because I had a lot to do that day. I visited it yesterday though, and Little Flower Urchins was just as delightful the second time!
    Road was very well attended this year, the most people I’ve ever seen. If you didn’t get there early enough you had to park across the street in the dirt.

  4. it’s fun to see what quilts people snap pics of. I saw some on another blog which were entirely different. I love to se what captures people.

    thanks for the pics!
