Sacred Threads is an exhibition of quilts exploring the subject 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.

We held a very special exhibit at the 2009 show called Beyond the Barrier. Seventeen quilts from inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women were shown.  Please visit Beyond the Barrier.org to view all the quilts and artist statements.

The Sacred Threads 2009 Exhibition was held June 17-28, 2009 in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.  Click here to view a sample of the 2009 show.

The Alliance for American Quilts: Save Our Stories interviewed Sacred Threads.  Read interviews of Founder, Vikki Pignatelli and other Sacred Threads Artists.

We are pleased to offer a Sacred Threads 2009 Show CD featuring all the quilts and artist statements.
