Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
The Makers of this gorgeous quilt is Delia and her daughter Nanci. Delia is an amazingly hard worker and she and her daughter Nanci made this quilt called Gotta Have Faith,in a script design. There is never a time I don't see her with a needle, thread and hexagon in her hand. She has taken full advantage of the opportunity to make money from home. Delia and her daughter are some of the few of our makers that was able to keep her home in the slums after the threats of the gangs. She lives right off of the river in the Pedregal bordo. She cooks and cleans river side every day when she is not sewing hexis.
Nanci is the mother of two and is grateful to have work. Her son Enrique is 3 and her daughter Courtney was born at the end of 2022.
Delia is the mother of three children Two of her children are grown but she does have a 12 year old son and two grandchildren to enjoy. Sadly, Delia is suffering from some health issues with tumors but she is so grateful for her association with One Common Thread so we can make sure she gets the medical tests and attention she needs.
