Getting to Road to California

By Car:
The Ontario Convention center is conveniently located just off Interstate 10, approximately three miles west of the Interstate 15 intersection in Ontario, California.

  • Traveling East bound on I-10: exit on Vineyard Street. Turn right to Convention Center Drive. Turn left and continue around the curve. The convention center will be on the right.
  • Traveling Westbound on I-10: Exit at Holt Avenue. Continue straight ahead about one mile and the Convention Center will be on the right.

By Plane:
Most major carriers serve Ontario Airport, directly or by connection, from most US cities. International connections are usually through Los Angeles or San Francisco International Airports. The Convention Center and the hotels are located adjacent to the Ontario Airport, and the hotels run shuttles on a regular and on call basis during operating hours.

Quilt Appraisals

Protect your valued quilts, both old and new, with an appraisal by professional appraisers certified by the American Quilter’s Society. It is essential if you want a fair replacement value for a lost, stolen or damaged quilt from an insurance company. This is as important for quilts that you have just made, as well as older quilts. The cost of a written appraisal is $45 per quilt and a verbal evaluation is $25. If you are interested, please check the appraisal box on the online registration form and you will be contacted to make an appointment. Details for appraisals of quilts hanging in the show will be mailed with acceptance letters. Please contact Julia Zgliniec (rzglini1@san.rr.com) for additional information or to schedule an appointment for quilts brought into the show during show hours. Please note: fees are subject to change.
