The next exhibit has been Officially Postponed to 2022The next edition of Sacred Theads will be July 14-24, 2022 in Herndon, VA Due to the uncertainty of when it will be safe to hold our exhibit and the number of months it requires for us to properly plan the juried exhibit and the weekend events, we decided it was best for everyone to decide to postpone now before artists entered their artwork. Our call for entries has never had a made-by-date, so any quilts that were being made for the 2021 edition will be just as eligible for 2022. We thank you, our community of artists and visitors, for understanding our difficult decision. If you have any questions, please email Sacred Threads Chair, Lisa Ellis at lisa@ellisquilts.com. |

Sacred Threads is an exhibition of quilts exploring themes of joy, inspiration, spirituality, healing, grief and peace/brotherhood. 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.
