Still More from Road to California


Last week I posted some of my pictures from this years Road to California Quilt show in Ontario. Here are a few (actually more than a few) more. You can enjoy the previous quilts here and here.

I’ve realized that although I am a traditional quilter, I take a lot of pictures of non-traditional quilts. I’m not sure if that is because I might want to make some, or the fact that here are so few traditional quilts being shown at shows.

I do know that there are incredible artists producing stunning works and that we are blessed by the beauty they add to our lives.

Somehow I missed who produced this quilt. If anyone has the name I will add it to the post.

And last but not least three paper pieced versions of Judy Neimeyer patterns. They almost make me want to paper piece.
