This last weekend, I traveled to Silicon Valley with my husband and kids. My husband had a conference, and I found myself with a full Saturday and two kids to entertain. I browsed through the hotel’s “Discover San Jose” brochure, and settled on the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles as our first stop. I am so glad I went! It is a small museum, but had excellent exhibitions going on and a little community craft room where the kids got to make stuffed felt animals.

I really loved the International TECHstyle Art Biennial 3 (ITAB) and Piecing with Pixels installations, and I hope you enjoy the photos, even though it was hard for my photography skills to do these works justice! The items from the Piecing With Pixels are for sale works, so if you are in the market and see something you like, do contact the museum.

Pretty believable brick wall considering it's all quilted fabric!
