On The Road To California Quilt Show

The "On The Road To California" quilt show was held in the Ontario Convension Center January 25 to January 27, 2013.  Georgia, being quite a quilter, attended Thursday, Friday and took a quilting class on Saturday.  On Friday, I accompanied her to see some of the wonderful quilts on display.  One that I found most interesting was a five quilt display of old Route 66.  In front of one of the five quilts was a Harley Davidson motor cycle.  We took the opportunity to have Georgia get on it for a "photo op" session.

Below are our pictures of the motor cycle and some of the fasinating quilts on display:

Georgia and the Harley

 
"Best in Show" Quilt titled "Feathers".  It won a $5,000 prize.


100% Silk Quilt including the batting.  My guess is that it is valued at around $40,000.  It took about one year to make.

 
Beautiful design for a quilt with the sun light coming out from the clouds.  An example of the quilter's creativity
