The Road to California


I've wanted to enter the Road to California Quilt Show for a few years, but never had anything I thought worth of being juried into that pretigious show.  This fall, when reviewing my list of upcoming shows, I noticed the Road to California enry fee was only $10.  Application fees to some of the shows now are as much as $30 or $40 bucks...i just refuse to pay that much on principal.  $40 bucks so someone can look at two digital photos online and reject me?  Nah.

Anyway, ten bucks was a gamble I was willing to take.  I decided to enter Deep in December, which had won an Honorable Mention at the 2012 LaConner Quilt Museum's Quilt Fest.  Then I went off to Europe for a month and forgot about the whole thing.  So it was a nice surprise to come home and learn my ten bucks had been well spent.  This little quilt is going to Road to California.
