The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is currently running a fabulous exhibit of quilts. It is Yvonne Porcella: Bold Strokes. Curated by Deborah Corsini, the exhibit features 21 of Yvonne's quilts spanning a 25-year time period. Included are three examples of her kimono-shaped quilts, as well as many of her graphic appliqued quilts with their interesting cartoon-like characters. You'll also see an abundance of black & white checks which adds the signature touch to many of her designs.
This video is just a taste of the exhibit which runs from November 16, 2010 through January 30, 2011 at the museum. Do yourself a favor and go see it in person before it closes.
If you can't get to the museum, make sure you watch Episode 713: TQS Quilting Legend with Yvonne Porcella to learn much more about this fascinating textile artist.
