Because you are already a generous supporter of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, you know the value that the Museum has in your personal life. We know that you appreciate the internationally recognized exhibitions and outstanding educational outreach programs in our community’s schools that have introduced tens of thousands of school children to quilting and textile traditions. Over the years, you have enjoyed seeing many of the almost 1,000 historic and contemporary quilts and textiles we have collected and preserved for future generations. Next year, we will celebrate our 35th Anniversary with stellar programs and world class exhibitions!

We have grown from a storefront to our permanent Museum facility in the heart of San Jose’s cultural district. As we continue to build on our great success next year, we will be honoring our Collection with an exhibition and catalog, Masterworks of the Collection, expanding our cultural horizons with the exhibition Folk Indian Textiles from the Collection of Carol Summers, and partnering with the estate of Mark Adams to show his incredible tapestry work. We will be offering engaging programs in conjunction with all of the exhibitions and launching the Museum’s Digital Textile Workshop.

As someone who loves quilts and textiles, 2012 is a year at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles that you do not want to miss. We are proud of our accomplishments over the last 35 years, but in many ways we feel that we are just getting started. There are a number of exciting opportunities before us in terms of extending the impact of our programs and taking on new challenges. Your response to this annual appeal will make a major difference in our ability to seize these opportunities.

We rely on you to support our exhibition and education programs and our day-to-day operations. Without your support, we could not continue to share the beauty, wonder and historic importance of quilts and textiles with our community. We ask that you give generously and JOIN THE CELEBRATION!

Thank you for your continued support. It really makes a difference!
