Road to California 2019 is just around the corner. Quilts vying for $92,000 in cash awards; Amazing and Unique Special Exhibits; Over 100 Classes and Over 220 Vendors – are all ready and waiting for the show to start January 24, 2019 and run through January 27th at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California.
Are you as excited as we are for the show to begin?
To help countdown the days to the beginning of Road 2019, we’re offering the 2019 Get Ready for Road Giveaway. Three prize packages have been put together that we hope will entice any quilter—whether or not they intend on attending the show – to participate and have some fun.
Prize Package #1 is an opportunity for one lucky winner to take a longarm class on Monday or Tuesday from award winning longarm quilter, Linda Gosselin. We introduced Linda on our blog a couple of months ago. If you ever thought about trying out longarm quilting or wanted to improve your longarm skills, this prize package is for you!!! One lucky winner will be able to join the rest of the students in having a hands-on experience using a Handi Quilter stand-up longarm machine provided in the class.
Prize Package #2 is a Swag Bag filled with ALL the Road to California logo items we sell at the show. The swag includes a reusable bag, nail file, mousepad, lanyard, pin savers, shirt, fan, quilt ruler, 20th Anniversary Fabric, a tote bag and much, much more.
The Grand Prize, Prize Package #3, is a chance for one lucky winner and 3 of their friends to meet and spend time with celebrity quilter, Eleanor Burns. Included in this prize package is a 3-night stay at one of Road to California’s host hotels, lunch on Saturday with Eleanor, and front row seats to Eleanor’s 40th Anniversary Trunk Show on Friday or Saturday night.
How the 2019 Get Ready for Road Giveaway works
Each prize package will have a window of 4 days to enter. A social media post announcing the current prize package will be posted on Road to California’s Facebook Page and Instagram Account as well as in an article on our blog.

Can’t wait to see friends, learn from great instructors and just have a great time.
Im so excited! I will be attending and this will be my first year. I found a flyer at a fabric shop!
What a wonderful craft .. I’m new to quilting and would love to get better at longarm quilting… I’ve only taken one lesson.. but I loved it!
This will be my 4th year to attend Road to California. Once many years ago when I flew into Ontario to attend with my Mom’s Quilt group from RCB in Indio, and the other with my sister-in-law after we retired. We are both excited for this year as we are taking classes – signed up the first day of registration ;). Great show with so many treasures to pick from!
I have attended at least 7 times look forward to it every year. Even when it is raining cats and dogs. Wip LLP take classes the year I retire first of January 2020
I have attended the show every year since 2003… this year I am again taking some classes! Hooray! 🎉
Looking forward to this year’s show.
I have attended every year and am looking forward to going this year also!
I’ve happily enjoyed attending Road for ~15 years. Love it! And, I highly recommend it to others. Fun to meet quilters from around the world at this show. Amazing teachers, spectacular quilts, and wonderful Vendors. And, really good weather.
Linda is an AWESOME teacher, great giveaway!! I have attended Road2California the last 5 years in a row!! Love it, so glad we have such an awesome quilt show close to where I live.
So excited for R2CA 2019! This will be my 3rd year and can’t wait!
This will be my third Road2CA and I’m definitely attending! I bought a long arm at my first Road2CA and would love to win a class…
I’ve been attending with my BFF for probably 20 years. Now flying in from Delaware. Wouldn’t miss it😊
My sister and I will be attending again this year. Lucky her can volunteer in evenings. Too far of a distance since I am glad that I can be part of the roadies give back.
I think it would be really great to win – a reward for my many many years of faithful ROAD attendance. #nevermissed
So excited to attend the Road 2 California!
I have attended Road 2 California for the past 5 yrs, the first time within 6 months after i started quilting. I will definitely be there again this year, along with at least 20 friends.
I am so excited for this event, it really brightens up a cold January.
Tried to post on the Linda Gossilin blog page, but there is no “Leave a Reply” option, so posting here. This will be my 5th year in a row attending R2Ca! So nice to have a great quilt show within driving distance!
I’ve attended Road 2 California 5 times and I’ll be attending again this year. Thanks so much for the give-a-way!
Counting the days until Ontario is my home away from home!! 🤩🤪
I have never attended. This would be my first year.
I’m so excited to ,eave the Montana snow behind for a week of classes at Road to California!
I’ve attended R2CA for the last 5 years. LOVE that we have such a great quilt show within driving distance!! LOVE R2CA!
I’ve been going to R2CA for 5 years. So happy to have a great quilt show within driving distance. Love RD2CA!
Have attended three times and am looking forwarded to attending again this year. (I am leaving this comment here because there is no link to leave the comment on the Oct 26, 2018 blog post.)
I wish I could go. There is so much to see and do, but I have other commitments this year.
I can’t wait for R2CA! My favorite notion is a great little travel iron to press as I sew!
My favorite quilting notion are my Kate’s Kay Buckley scissors! They make cutting jobs so much easier
I love all my rulers!
I love my stripology ruler as it helps to cut accurately and makes it faster.
Can hardly wait..my second year
By far it is my 1/4 inch foot.
Oh can’t wait to get to the show.
My favorite is the Purple Thing!
How I would love this as a souvenir…going to be there for the first time this year, all the way from Manitoba Canada!
looking foward to the show!
Looking forward to Road along with my rotary cutter to play in the evenings with fabric I buy
Excited for the show! This is my first time!
This will be my 7th year to attend the road and I will be bringing 19 other Quilter’s from Arizona. The classes are always excellent as well as the instructors. I appreciate the vendors and the demos they give. Coming from a small rural community the ROAD is eye candy deluxe. 😊
Would be excited to win a prize!
This class would help me decide if purchasing a long arm would be a good move for me..
Eleanor Burns was my FIRST quilting teacher. I took a class from her in the early 80s at a special event at Chaffey College! She has always been one of my favorite teachers and I would be thrilled to win this spectacular prize!
Chaffey College is just up the hill from the Ontario Convention Center!!
Although I’ve been sewing since I was a child, my serious quilting adventures started about 17 years ago when my dad passed away and I used his shirts to make memory quilts.
What a wonderful way to get started!!
I’ve been quilting for 35 years and my mom taught me very young my first quilt was a double wedding ring all hand sewing
Oh, the hours and hours of Saturday mornings spent watching Eleanor Burns on TV. She is amazing
and I would love a chance to meet her and take a class with her!
I would love a chance to spend time with Eleanor Burns, my first quilt used her pattern 20 years ago.
Quilting is an important part of my life and I would love to receive any of these prize packages. Thank you!
I have been quilting for 10 years and hope to see El at Road to California in 2019 !
Never been to Road to California. Would like to attend
Only a little more than a year and it seems like more collecting than quilting.
I would love to win. Thanks for these contests!
I’ve been quilting for over 20 years but not very well. Trying to get better.
Under 5 years
My favorite notion is the Cut ‘n Press I
Under 5 years
Oh my gosh I am so excited!
I have been quilting for about 30 years. Nine years ago I got layed off and purchased a longarm machine.
I been quilting for about 25 years. I started watching QUIAD on. Channel 3. PBS out of State College, Pa. I haven’t stopped yet. Thanks Eleanor.
This sounds like so much fun!
I have been quilting since I was 15 years old… learned from my Grandma Irvin who was patient & knowledgeable. We used fabric from Halloween costumes & aprons to start with first! So fun to seethe final results & have memories of those clothes. What a great start to a life long joy🤗
What a kick she is. Attending her quilt show at Road.
This year is 17 years I’ve been quilting!
Seam ripper is my favorite:)
Can’t wait for the show. So excited.
We can’t either!!!
Oh! it would be great to win, any of these great prizes! Thank you for offering them!
I will be attending Road to California on Saturday!! I am looking forward to seeing all of the wonderful quilts and the vendors!
