Please stop by and see us on the exhibit floor. We will be in the Healing Quilts in Medicine special exhibit. Founder Vikki Pignatelli will be joining us!

The Healing Quilts exhibit features 21 quilts that are based on the pharmaceutical plants and animals used in cancer treatments. These pieces will be installed at the INOVA Fair Oaks Cancer Center in 2014.

Sacred Threads is an exhibition of quilts exploring themes of spirituality, joy, inspiration, peace/brotherhood, grief and healing. This biennial exhibition was established to provide a safe venue for quilters  who see their work as a connection to the sacred and/or as an expression of their spiritual journey.

The objective is to create a dignified exhibition of artwork that touches on both spiritual and personal levels all those who view it. We want to share with others the experiences of quilters whose stories may be a source of healing and strength.

Entries to Sacred Thread Exhibitions are juried in by images for purposes of space and suitability of theme only. Works are not judged.

Sacred Threads is made possible by our sponsors. Please support our sponsor eQuilter.com by shopping on their website.
