A mother swan and her baby float in a pond surrounded by mountains in this tapestry created by Brenda Kabagomoka, Threads of Blessing artist. The hand-stitched tapestry measures 9" x 9.5" and would be a lovely gift for a bird lover.
Brenda lives in southern Uganda, in the diocese of Rwenzori, close to the Rwandan border – a stunning area known as the “Switzerland” of Uganda. Her life revolves around caring for her family and her crops.
She will use the funds she receives from her needlework to provide education for her children, medical support for herself and her family, seeds or fertilizer for her crops, maintenance and repairs to her home, and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of the war, HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
Brenda meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence.
