Road to California Quilt Show

Here are some pictures from the "Road to California" quilt show I attended last week.

These first three pictures are some I took while wandering thru the vendor booths.  It was really crowded for most of the day.

I picked out one quilt kit to buy, from a store called "Stars & Scraps".  Their store is located in Corona, CA.  I thought this watermelon quilt would be fun to make:

Terrrell went with me on the first day of the show.  We saw this line of chairs all filled up with people taking a rest for a few minutes.  He thought he would go sit with them for a few minutes and schmooze:

The quilts in the show were amazing.  I took pictures of some of the ones that were my favorites:

Someday I'm going to make a "Dear Jane" quilt.  I always seem drawn to them.  Here are two that were hanging really close to one another.  One was in lighter fabrics, the other one was done in darker colors.  They are both beautiful.  

This one I decided was my favorite of all:

It has fun to get away for a couple weeks.  (Before this trip to California, we were in Las Vegas for three days going to a trade show there)  It was nice to escape the cold weather and snow.  The weather in California was in the 70's!  But now it is back to Utah, 30 degree weather and snow.  (snow storm going on outside right now)

We brought a huge bag of lemons home with us from California.  I squeeze the juice out of them,  then measure 2 cups of juice and freeze it in a zip-loc bag.  

This way we can have fresh tasting lemonade all season long.  It really hurts my wrists so squeeze lemons, so I usually do it over the space of several days.
