This lovely hand-stitched tapestry created by Christine Achire, Threads of Blessing artist, offers a lovely view of colorful birds feeding on sunflowers. This piece measures 13" x 11.5" and could be displayed framed on a wall, on a decorative pillow, or added to jacket, or other piece of clothing.
Christine lives in Hoima, Uganda, in the district of Bunyoro-Kitara. She meets weekly with her fellow needle workers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-esteem, to the point that they have begun their own savings and loan account, from which they can borrow to begin small businesses.
She will use the funds she receives from her needle work to provide education for her children; medical support for herself and her family; seeds or fertilizer for her crops; repairs to her home, or even begin to build a new one; and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of the war, HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
Christine offers this testimony, “Threads of Blessing has lifted me so much in financial and skills. I want to give thanks for this wisdom that He has given me in Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
