The Sacred Threads quilt exhibition comes every two years to Floris United Methodist Church, 13600 Frying Pan Road in Oak Hill. Within each work, artists tell stories of joy, grief, healing, inspiration, spirituality, and peace and brotherhood. Now in its 14th year, this national juried exhibition of more than 200 quilts runs now through July 24, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, 1-4 p.m. Tickets: $10, adults; $5, children 5-12. 

* This week’s photos, Part I, depict inspiration, peace and brotherhood, and joy. Part II, depicting the other themes, will be in next week’s paper.
