Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
This fun baby quilt was made by Clivian. It has a mix of children's flannel fabrics on the top. The top is made of 2.5" sized hexagons. It has a super soft minky backing and is small for a baby or child.
Clivian has been sewing with her sister Delia for awhile now, to support her three children. She is 22 years old and does not have a husband or boyfriend to help support her and her children. She is so grateful to have employment where she can work from home to support her children and lists having these children and raising them on her own is the hardest thing she has ever done, however they are also the best thing that ever happened to her. Clivian also makes tortillas daily to sell to other people in the slums.
