| An exhibit composed of liturgical banners, wall art, vestments, and altar furniture featuring textiles, quilting arts, and fiber arts. While celebrating spiritual storytelling through these artworks, experience the importance of color and symbols as they communicate concepts in an unusual way.
“A quilt is “earthly mysticism.” It dares to venture into the mystery, to dance at the edge of the unknown, fathom the deep things, perchance God. Where language falls mute, where reason has produced its last halting step toward truth, the arts begin, among them, now, quilting. Yet it is firmly grounded, rooted in the routine of the needle and thread of color and texture, of eye and hand.” (Susan Towner-Larsen and Barbara Brewer Davis in “With Sacred Threads: Quilting and the Spiritual Life” pg. vii c2000)
