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.

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.
