With Sacred Threads: Quilting and the Spiritual Life

Rating:
Summary: Inspiring And Beautiful
Review: A friend gave me this book for Christmas and I was thrilled! Not only is it beautiful, the writings and reflections are profound. The authors delve into topics such as forgiveness, healing, joy, finding our voice, and many more. At the same time, they draw on the many traditions of quilting around the world. I was especially grateful to see the inclusion of African American quilt history, as well as Native Hawaiian, Amish, and others. My favorite part is how a photo of a quilt is used with each theme and then there are prayers and reflections to connect it all to my own spiritual journey. Wonderfully done! Quilters and non-quilters alike will be touched by this book!

Review: I was given this book as a gift a few years ago ... little did I know what a true "gift" it really was!

Quilting has been a creative outlet for me for many years, but spirituality has been dormant ... recent re-awakenings have allowed me to see the intense need and desire to re-build a firm spiritual foundation.

This book has shown the unique connection between the two ~ it has brought new dimensions to both my quilting and my spirituality.

Many thanks to the authors ~ for the hours of work designing quilts, discovering others' work and creating the book!
