Quilting is one of my hobbies. I found a quilt museum in San Jose.
We made a plan to go there, but my husband was very busy so I decided to go there by myself. It meant I had to use public transportation and foot power.
Anyway, I asked the receptionist at the hotel and she told me how to get there. She gave me the wrong information, but I managed to get there at last. I really felt San Jose area especially is a car based society. Our town, Carrboro, is quite friendly to people and I never feel a need for a car.
In the museum, there are not many quilts but I found my favourite tapestry.
It was amazing. It is like a picture, but many fabrics are used to make light and shadow. It was made by appliqué and machine quilting.
Also, quilt books are sold and all books are 35% discount!!! I found a book which shows how to make patterns using a sowing machine. I've tried to use a sowing machine before, but I am not good at using it. I really want to learn how to use it because if I can, it won't be a dream to make a big tapestry or bed cover.
