I’ve just come home from the Road to California show today. It was a very quick trip, and I took a 5 am flight back, arriving in single digits and a light dusting of snow. The storm that glanced past us here, is now wreaking havoc as it heads East across the US. We hope you are all staying safe and warm!

The last time I went to this show – also known as RD2CA – Matt was just taking over the show from his grandmother. Now it is a family affair, and I met several of the family members on this trip. They are expanding to a 2nd show – Road to Virginia – in Richmond VA. There is a lot of youthful energy in this show and I like the direction they are going.

Sacred Threads was hanging in the ‘Ballroom’ Exhibit Hall, so I was able to visit my “Children of War” which was very nicely lit. I enjoyed visiting with those who stopped by to have a look.

Today I went from palm trees to icicles, but I am wearing a smile after spending time with talented quilter friends. I hope your weekend brings you peace and comfort amidst the storm.

Sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
