Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
Our sweet little Teresa made this huge quilt called Ancestry. Teresa is one of our smallest makers and she just does such a wonderful job with her sewing skills she has learned with us here at One Common Thread. She is a mother of one beautiful little girl and supports them with the funds she makes by sewing. Recently Teresa was able to get a new roof put on her house and had cement flooring put in her kitchen and bathroom area. It has been such a blessing for her. She has also been able to receive medications when her daughter has been ill and is grateful to know there are such great people in the world willing to buy her product so she can feed her daughter.
This quilt is big and boasts eight tree branches that could be embroidered with the names of family groups. This quilt is also snuggly soft with the velvet backing and perfect as a gift for the genealogist in your life or for yourself!
