Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras

Description

This beautiful ombre designed quilt was made by Belkis.  It has multiple colored fabrics and a super soft velvet backing.  Belkis recently written her biography and this is a little about her in her own words.

"I met the man of my life and we started a family together. We have a precious daughter. My brother-in-law and his two daughters live with us. We are one family.

 

I have a wonderful family. I lost my mom and my sister Yessi but I know it was God’s will that I would have those two precious angels in heaven. That was the saddest thing that has happened to me but sewing has helped me a lot. I have learned a new thing and it keeps my mind occupied with other thoughts.

Living in the bordo [communities situated on the rivers' levees] is very nice because one learns to share with others. I might not be agile working with my hands but I do it with love and feeling very grateful."
