I was honored to be asked to show my crazy quilts at Road to California last week, and glad to give CQs some exposure in the sane quilt world!
I had some very great volunteers helping me hang the quilts.
I couldn't have done it without them!

It was really fun to secretly watch people taking in the exhibit.
I enjoyed being "backstage" at the show, too, helping a friend of a friend set up her vendor booth.
She asked me to sort her threads for sale into colors. Now what could be more fun than that?

My brother and sister each braved the Southern California traffic to come out to Ontario and show support.
Thanks, Matt and Mary!
Oh! And I have been invited to teach there next year, so stay tuned for more information in the coming months....
