Sacred Threads Quilts 2013

Back in July I was fortunate to visit a quilt exhibit held locally but with participants from all over the US.  Held every 2 years, the Sacred Threads exhibit features art quilts that seek to touch the viewer on a spiritual and personal level.   Quilts fit the themes of joy, spirituality, inspiration, grief, healing and peace/brotherhood.  The maze-like layout of the show with music quietly playing in the background make it easy to lose yourself in the spirituality, beauty and excellence of the quilts.  Here are a few of my favorites - just a very small sampling of the amazing work by incredible quilt artists.

Piedmont Arts Show - Art of the Quilt: Celebrations

Every two years, the Piedmont Arts Center in Martinsville, VA, mounts an "Art of the Quilt" show curated by Linda Fiedler.  This year's theme was Celebrations.  It was a very colorful show and included a group of challenge quilts "Inspired by the Masters", from some famous name quilters, including Mary Stori and Georgia Bonesteel.  Here are a few of my favorites.
