Description
Joana's beautiful quilt showcases her skill and attention to detail in creating this grandmothers garden quilt pattern. The mix of fabrics, along with the elegant blues and pastels, adds a touch of class to the design, resulting in a clean and visually appealing piece.
Joana's determination and work ethic are commendable, especially considering the challenges she faces as a mother with a disabled husband. Despite these difficulties, Joana remains focused on her craft and strives to perfect her stitching.

The ability to buy a refrigerator may seem like a small step for some, but it represents a significant improvement in Joana's quality of life. It enhances her family's ability to store food and preserves, ensuring they have access to fresh and nutritious meals. This accomplishment is a testament to Joana's resilience and the positive impact of One Common Thread support.
