Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
Circle the Wagons is all about love and coming together to take care of each other. Just as the pioneers did on their journey west in the 1800's. This quilt is made with larger 2" hexis and a beautiful combination of prairie type fabrics in jewel tones and creams.
Madeline and her mother Wendy live 8 hours on a bus outside of San Pedro Sula and they started sewing for One Common Thread from the very beginning. They take a bus to drop off work and pick up more every few months just to keep employed. This quilt is an example of their labor of love.
