Fire, Chaos, and BOM!

We will need some coziness and comfort to navigate 2025, and our year long blanket make-alongs are the perfect solution!
Join our quilting block of the month project, Greenhouse Garden, starting in January 2025. Blocks can be joined to make a wall hanging or a lap quilt.
In February, we kick off both the Fire in My Hearth knit-along and the Organized Chaos crochet-along. 
               

Beauty is Everywhere

SRT Mural

Silk Road Textiles welcomes its new mural, located on the south side of the building! Designed by Christopher A. Ritter and BLDG Brands, “Beauty is Everywhere” invites viewers to open their eyes and discover the extraordinary in the ordinary. It is inspired by Confucius’s wisdom that “everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” This mural challenges us to shift our perspectives and appreciate the richness around us. 

In this work, iconic illustrated women are “sewn together” to create a unified face, symbolizing the interconnectedness of diverse cultures and identities. Each visage blends elements from various ethnicities, celebrating our shared humanity and the beauty of embracing our differences. Flanked by textile patterns from the Sandwich Islands, the Middle East, and India, the mural honors global beauty while inviting reflection on the aesthetics of College Hill. Measuring 16 feet × 60 feet on the side of Silk Road Textiles, this vibrant artwork transforms the urban landscape into a canvas of appreciation and awareness.

The mural is made possible by College Hill CURC with support from Keep Cincinnati Beautiful.

Take a little beauty with you everywhere you go!

Totes available exclusively at Silk Road Textiles
