Sacred Threads 2015 is a national juried exhibition of art quilts exploring themes of joy, peace & brotherhood, inspiration, grief, healing, and spirituality. From its beginning in 1995 this biennial exhibit has provided a respectful, dignified venue for the artwork of quilters of all faiths who use their work as a connection to deep life experiences or as an expression of their spiritual journey. These powerful stories-in-fabric from all over the country offer an inspiring source of encouragement, healing, strength and connection to show visitors.
