Textile Museum

After we visited the Centro Cultural San Pablo (last week), we went next door to view the Textile Museum. I really, really love fabric. And I especially love the textiles of Latin America. I was wowed by them in Ecuador and I feel the same sense of awe here. I'm looking forward to going to a weaving place of some sort. I have a couple leads. I have a strong appreciation for the work that goes into the pieces that are made by hand. It's not uncommon to see someone embroidering while sitting in their little booth shop with other embroidered items for sale. So seeing this museum and seeing the indigo displays and the big weaving loom for children was really inspiring. A friend had said that maybe this museum would be boring for children, but I've instilled a love of fabric in textiles in my children and so they were thrilled to look at the different pieces. Holly has a very distinct idea of what she would like to buy while here.
