Call for Modern Quilts - Road to California 2014

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.  If you are a blogger, while SewCalGal is copyright protected, you have permission to share this press release (this specific post) on your blog.
