Today, I wanted to share with you a press release for a Call for Modern Quilts for the 2014 Road to California Conference and Quilt show. As the modern quilting movement is growing in popularity, this is a great opportunity for quilters to enter their modern quilt in a show with quilts on exhibit from around the world. I also hope you'll help to increase awareness with others that may be of interest in entering a quilt in this spectacular quilt show.
