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!

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!

I love this book - it is a beautiful celebration of tradition, art, spirituality and ritual.

This grace-full book shares reflections, wisdom, and creative talents of quilt artists from many cultural and spiritual backgrounds. It broadened my understanding of how quilts can tell stories, express emotion, and deepen faith for both the artist and the viewer. With Sacred Threads is a go-to book for ideas and inspiration.

This is a tremendous book. It has added to both my quilting and prayer life. The writing is exceptional and the quilts with related prayers really lead to deep reflection. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to find their place , whose creative juices have stopped flowing, and for whom quilting and the needle arts is their place of refuge.
