san jose museum of quilts & textiles印象

This museum is a gem. They have a great space, large enough to have many fine examples of quilts. They also exhibit ethnic and art clothing and things textile. The exhibits change and the quality is always there. The gift shop is very nice as well offering many items made by hand and some that aren't.

Nice staff they have an event each month, teaching and you the take the small item home, such nice staff.

This small but fun museum took me by surprise - I loved the quilts. The exhibits are beautiful, and do change. It's one of the lesser known yet worthwhile sites to visit in San Jose.

You've got to love this place. Quilts and textiles. Heck 100 years ago you'd most likely be on a waitlist to get into this place. The magical art of fabric and quilting. I still have a quilt my grandmother made out of flour sacks during the depression. I think we all have a quilt made by our granny's, aunties, or mom's in some closet or hope chest. Time to get that quilt out and really appreciate its delicate work and the dedication it took to make it. Don't have a hand me down heirloom, then get down to SJ Museum of Quilts and Textiles enjoy the place with a friend or your kids. Nothing says America like a quilt!

Two-thirds of this small museum displayed recent winners of a New York competition in textile arts which were well described and displayed. Photography was allowed for personal use if no flash used. The few displayed quilts were presented for educational purposes such as how to detect differences between authentic antiques and modern copies, or offering possibilities for one large quilt's ragged missing sections. The gift shop section offered a wide range of textile products including books and prints. The pleasant, helpful person at the entrance engaged us in conversation, and suggested we might visit a San Francisco store offering multiple floors of textile products as well.

We recently visited the museum to see their 35 year anniversary exhibit. This was a great exhibit of choice pieces of their substantial quilt collection. We have also visited once before for an exhibit of Native American textiles which was great as well. The museum is of nice size and they do a great job of laying out and displaying their exhibits.

We were having an off day during a long trip to San Francisco and Northern California when my husband saw an ad for the Museum. He then suggested we go and he received enough brownie points that they will last a long time. And on top of it, he really enjoyed the display tooThe quilt and textile display involved printing on fabrics, digital designs, and even some watercolor quilting.I thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

I try to see the exhibits monthly since they change frequently. It is always surprising to see the talents of people using cloth and thread. I enjoy looking at the creations from others and the different exhibits from different cultures. If you come to San Jose more than once you always see something different.

Several interesting & unusual exhibits during the year. Many non-traditional, very innovative, all beautiful.

I was expecting an exhibit of traditional pieced quilts but really enjoyed the Quilt National 2013 juried exhibit they had when we were there. If you like quilts that use unique fabrics and techniques and are contemporary and more "art like," then you will enjoy this exhibit.
