The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles in San Jose, California has some brand new exhibits debuting this Fall that all quilters will want to check out. First, Layered & Stitched: 50 Years of Innovative Art showcases "50 art quilts by renowned master artists around the globe" and More Impact: Climate Change, which "features tapestries from members of Tapestry Weavers West that reflect on our changing global environment".

"Back in 2017, Japanese international outreach organization Imagine Oneworld started the Kimono Project, with the aim of creating a unique kimono pattern for every country on Earth. The designs would be developed in cooperation with that country’s embassy and embody influences from and references to their unique cultures, histories, and natural and architectural beauty."
