I live in California, Bakersfield to be exact!
Last week was the Road to California Quilt show in Ontario, Ca. My friend and I decided to go last Friday. I wasn't feeling great that day so I asked my husband to go along and drive us down to Ontario. He is such a good sport. He carried around my purple backpack for me and talked to all the longarm reps about their machines.
He even told me to get a new machine because I said I liked the way the APQS machine stitched! Crazy guy! I was tempted but I am a little more practical. I have been trying to plan for retirement so I don't go too crazy on my spending. I will be 51 in a few days but I only want to work until 60 if I can.
I thought I would post some pictures of the quilts from the quilt show.
Here is my husband admiring one of the quilts! The show got an interview from him to see why he was there! He kind of stood out from the crowd! Biker guy with a long goatee and a Harley shirt, not your typical quilter! Ha! Ha!
That quilt had beautiful stitching! I think I was more interested in the stitching then the quilts.
I took a lot of pictures but not all of them came out. It is hard to maneuver around the crowd.

I loved this butterfly quilt! I didn't catch the names of all the makers so forgive me if I don't post them.

I couldn't get a picture of the whole quilt for Best of Show, but I got some of the quilting!
I loved the Mayan quilt! I was surprised it didn't win anything!
That is it for now! I had a lot of blurry pictures!
I have tried to locate the pattern for one of your designs, "Birds of Paradise" and can't locate any information. Is this pattern still available in your designs? I would love to make this pattern as it was a favorite of my aunt who is now deceased.
