Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
Nohemy's journey from earning $4 a day to being able to support her family through her sewing is truly remarkable. It speaks volumes about her dedication and the impact of her work. Sewing must demand a lot of her time and energy, especially with three young children, including a toddler.
The fact that she created a University of Utah quilt with such attention to detail for a die-hard fan showcases not only her skill but also her commitment to her craft and her customers. It's inspiring to see how her passion and hard work have opened up new opportunities for her and her family.
