Please enjoy this walk through of the Sacred Threads 2025 Exhibit that was on display from October 30, 2025 through November 9, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. "Sacred Threads is an exhibition of art quilts exploring themes of joy, inspiration, spirituality, healing, grief and peace/brotherhood. This biennial exhibition was established for quilters who see their work as a connection to the sacred and/or as an expression of their spiritual journey."
Presented by SAQA: "Art can play a powerful role in healing environments, such as hospitals, by reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and offering emotional support for patients and their families. By encouraging artists to share pieces that reflect their inner journeys, Sacred Threads supports creative expression as a therapeutic process, helping artists process life’s challenges and find peace. Viewers experience these powerful narratives visually, fostering empathy, introspection, and a shared sense of healing through art’s transformative power. This exchange cultivates a sense of community and mutual support, where art becomes a healing tool that uplifts all involved."

Lisa Ellis and Sacred Threads are having a sale of quilts from the Backyard Escape Exhibit that traveled to hospitals and have now completed their journey. The money raised supports the artists and the INOVA Schar Arts and Healing program (local cancer center in the Northern VA).
On June 18, 2021 the Sacred Threads Exhibition is gathering virtually for a very special event. They have partnered with the Quilt Alliance to bring you some very special stories of joy, inspiration, spirituality, healing, grief and peace/brotherhood through quiltmaking in their Sacred Threads Quilt StoryShare.
