Ximo won both 1st Place and 3rd Place in the Merit Quilting - Stationary Machine Category sponsored by BERNINA at Houston 2016. This piece, called Little by Little, is an amazing display of quilting. As you can see, the answer to the question is "Yes, it's thread. This is a whole-cloth blue quilt, with quilting making the design." Fantastic!

Nysha's quilt "Because" was created as a challenge quilt. It represents obligations and expectations. It was one of the first times he used words on a quilt. Ironically, the word "Because" is not included.

Star Members can watch Nysha in Show 2104: Zentangle Quilting & Totally Tuffets.

~Juncture: 40th Anniversary Members Exhibition~

The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is pleased to announce the First Annual Members Exhibition in their community gallery, FiberSpace. Artists who are current members may apply to exhibit up to three works in the exhibitions Juncture I & II.

Now in its fortieth year, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is at a juncture in time, where they can both reflect on the past and look forward to the future. A juncture can also be an intersection of place or events, often one laden with symbolic potential: In many folk traditions, junctures as represented by crossroads are a potent metaphor for transition. Though a juncture can be a time for reflection, the word can also describe a critical moment or crisis that demands immediate action. With the concept as their point of departure, artists may take the exhibition’s theme of “juncture” where it leads them.

Click on the Learn More button to find out how to enter and to learn more about the Marianne Lettieri, Juror.
