I’m here at Road to California having a wonderful time and I know I will be exhausted by the time I drive home. Here’s what’s on the agenda for this weekend:

Today, I’m taking an advanced class called, “Customize Your Quilting”, taught by Quilt artist and author, Mickey Depre. Here’s a sample of her beginning quilting class. I can only imagine what the advanced class will be like!

Tomorrow, I will spend the morning browsing the show floor taking in as much inspiration as I can handle.  In the afternoon, I’m going to attend a lecture entitled, “Show Quilts, From Start to Finish” given by Linda V. Taylor & Cheri Meineke-Johnson.

Isn’t the machine quilting in this piece simply lovely? These ladies are my inspiration!

Finally, on Saturday, I’ll spend the day with Charlotte Warr Andersen learning some of her tips and tricks for perfectly quilted quilts. She is one of my favorite artists and if you’ve never seen her work before, take a look at the picture below to see why she is so amazing:

I plan on taking lots of class pictures and can’t wait to share them with you when I return.
