where to go (Moderated by Deepika)
Posted on: 2/23/10 7:51 PM ET
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any shows on the west coast starting from the end of august to end of October. I am going cross country by car and would love to find a couple of sewing adventures while I am there.
Thank you in advance,
Holly

Hi,
Do you mean Pomona, CA rather than Pamona? I have heard of Pomona but not Pamona.

Sewing and reading about sewing are daily pleasures.
I hope to use up lots of stash in 2023. I am also starting to give away fabric, tools, etc that I am not going to use in an attempt to downsize.

Oops. Pomona. (corrected)
Either way, it's 400 miles away from me, a full day of driving from the SF Bay Area. It's in the middle of the Los Angeles basin, with its endless and crowded (24-hours a day) freeways. I wouldn't travel from my home just to attend the festival, but if you are already nearby... why not?
(My in-laws all live in the Los Angeles area. I love my in-laws. I love to visit them. Regardless, I do not enjoy driving to get there nor driving to get various places once I'm there.)
Other notable sewing-type places to visit on the West Coast:
Fabric Depot, Portland, Oregon
Britex Fabrics, San Francisco, California

Depending on your timing, here's an event that has good reviews --Education in Textile Arts in Long Beach, CA, in October. Good teachers and classes -- or so I hear. There is a sewing expo in Reno at the end of July but that's not close to route 66.
