Previewing the “State of the Art of Quilting” at Road2CA"},"content":{"rendered":"
With the inauguration now in the history books, the nation looks ahead to the President’s annual report on the State of the Union, scheduled this year for Tuesday, February 12. As we move into the new year, it seems a logical time to\u00a0take a look at\u00a0the “State of the Art of Quilting,” and what better way than to view a few of the\u00a0fabulous quilts that took honors at the 2013 Road to California Quilter’s Conference and Showcase<\/a>, held this past weekend at the Ontario (CA) Convention Center.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scheduled each year for late January, Road2CA is one of, if not the<\/em> first big quilting event of the year, which makes it a great\u00a0sampling of what we might be seeing on show floors, on the covers and pages of our favorite quilting magazines, and on quilting blogs and Pinterest boards over the coming months. If the following quilts are\u00a0is any indication, the state of quilting remains alive and well!<\/p>\n We lead off with the Best of Show winner, which comes with\u00a0a $5,000 award, sponsored by Moore’s Sewing Center<\/a>:\u00a0 Red Feathers<\/em>, made by Duluth, MN quilter, Claudia Clark Myers<\/a>, and quilted by Marilyn Badger<\/a>, of St. George, UT. If you follow the quilt scene, you know this isn’t the first big win for this dynamic and talented team!<\/p>\n
