Unframed Tapestry

This wonderful tapestry created by Dorine Ayiorwoth, Threads of Blessing artist, offers a view of family life in Uganda. The work measures 14 x 8 inches. A compound of colorful round thatched homes, under a bright blue sky, provide the backdrop for this work.  Two adults rest as children play and chickens feed nearby. Dorine uses a cool color palette accented with warm colors to define the elements in this scene. Carefully stitched contour lines, along with a variety of stitches and color create pattern in the smallest details.

Dorine meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers.  The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encouraged each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence.

“I have been blessed to have known Christ through the activities of Threads of Blessing and by relating very well with people I never expected to meet." - Dorine Ayiorwoth,
