Sacred Threads 2013

I am pleased to announce that I have an art quilt accepted into the 2013 Sacred Threads Art Quilt Exhibition.  This is a national show, held in Northern Virginia just outside Washington DC.  Please see this link for more information:  http://www.sacredthreadsquilts.com/   As described on their website,  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.

The piece I submitted, Prayers at the Wailing Wall, is based on an experience I had on a recent trip to Jerusalem.  Although I had read about the wall, I was very moved to actually be there.  It was memorable to join with others in prayer, and to see the written prayers that were tucked into the niches between the stone blocks. 

If you are in the DC area in July, I hope you will stop by to view these art quilts.
