together to make new friends, hear an inspiring message, be built up and
encouraged. In addition to monthly support groups, there were conferences,
retreats and special outings. It was a special time for women of all ages and
many were blessed.

image001.pngSacred Threads is a national biennial exhibition of more than 300 quilts exploring themes of spirituality, joy, inspiration, peace-community, grief and healing.  It 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 an exhibition of artwork that touches on both spiritual and personal levels, for all those who view it.  We are grateful to all 36 of the artists in the touring exhibition for sharing their art with us!

The Opening Reception will include delicious refreshments and live music.

West Raleigh Presbyterian Church is located at 27 Horne St. near NCSU.

Parking available on the street in the church lot at the corner of Horne & Vanderbilt Street or on the street.
