Just announced at Quilt Market, Yvonne Porcella has written a book about the development of her creative and artistic life.  Learn in her own words the answers to "Why?"

Want to meet her in person?  She'll be signing copies of her book at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles in November.

November 16, Sunday, 1 – 2pm

Yvonne Porcella Book Signing. A Memoir – Defining Why, Yvonne Porcella’s autobiography. Yvonne Porcella is a visionary in the art quilt movement, founder of Studio Art Quilt Associates, and an award-winning artist whose works are in museum collections across the U.S., including the Smithsonian Institution, de Young Museum of Art, San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, Phoenix Art Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. A prolific author of ten books, she tells her personal story for the first time here, transporting us through the early days of wearables and art quilt history to tales of ancestors whose contributions to California agriculture were pivotal. Porcella currently lives in California where she continues to produce works in her original and engaging style. All books will be available for purchase at the book signing.
