The Road to California Quilter's Conference and Showcase is coming soon.  "The Best in the West" will be held at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, CA from January 19-22, 2012.  Show Hours are Thursday-Saturday 9:30 am - 6 pm and Sunday from 10 am - 3:30 pm.  Ticket prices are $10 per day or $25 for a multi-day pass which includes the Preview Event.  Children 12 and under are free.

This year, All That Jazz, Improvisational Quilts, will be curated by Ricky and will be exhibited at Road.  Here is a description of the exhibit.

A collection of improvised quilts where pre-planned designs are set aside in order that whim and spontaneity may prevail. What is an improvisational quilt? Any quilt that is started without a predetermined pattern or plan and evolves throughout the construction process. Each quilt in this exhibition should have emerged from the seed of an idea without fully knowing what the finished piece would look like.
