With Sacred Threads: Quilting and the Spiritual Life

This book is an attempt to reflect on the endless ways that quilting is a context for the spiritual journey. Each chapter centers on a theme that connects to life in the Spirit and to life as a quilter. The metaphors and stories that thread their way through these two overlapping worlds, demonstrate emphatically that the sacred exists in the routine happenings of our lives.

The sixteen themes are each accompanied by a full-color photograph of a beautiful quilt and prayer. The topics include:Art, Storytelling, Finding Our Voices, Creativity, Images of God, Mystery, Community, Healing, Forgiveness, Liberation, Centering, Compassion, Discipline, Prayer, Grief, and Joy.
