Kaffe Fassett, Trip Around the World, 2014
Blanket Statements: New Quilts by Kaffe Fassett
The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is hosting Blanket Statements: New Quilts by KAFFE FASSETT and Historical Quilts from the Collection of the Quilt Museum and Gallery, York, England. Included in this exhibition—only one of two U.S. museum venues—are fifteen historic quilts from The Quilters' Guild Collection, York, England and twenty quilts produced by Kaffe Fassett that were inspired by the designs of the historic quilts.
"Glorious Color" Lecture by Kaffe Fassett
As part of the exhibition, there will be a lecture given by Kaffe himself, but tickets to "Glorious Color" are going fast.
May 21, Saturday
10 – 12:30pm ($200) or 11 – 12:30pm ($75)
Fassett's inspiration comes from his continual travels and this lecture is designed to empower and inspire the audience to create and develop their own "mind's eye." Audiences leave invigorated - entranced by Kaffe's sense and use of colour. They are ready to try it themselves and are encouraged to do so. Fassett highlights works from his latest projects, including his patchwork quilt, fabric, needlepoint, mosaic, painting and knitting designs. The slide presentation lasts approximately one hour, followed by a question and answer session, and book signing.
• $75 ticket to Glorious Color Lecture at The Stage Theatre – Still Available

Did you know that you can watch The Quilt Show on your TV? Yes, you can use your "big" screen to watch every show. Don't know how to connect your computer to your TV? We've got you covered! Watch this informative video and YOU can do it. But, if you're not quite ready to take the task in hand, find someone born in the 80's and they can help you get connected.
Jason choose the HDMI cable connection because it is the absolute best way to connect your HDTV (High Definition Television) to your computer with the best picture and sound quality. He will outline other options and shows you how to put it all together, right down to the settings on your television.
Just about any computer purchased in the last several years is capable of connecting to your TV. Of course, slow internet connections or outdated video cards may not give you the best results. ALL flat screen TVs are capable of being computer monitors. Unfortunately, this will not work with an "old school" television.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EXPENSIVE HDMI CABLES! The cheap cables are EXACTLY as good as the expensive ones. (Members of TQS can vouch for this.)
