Unframed Tapestry

In this hand-stitched tapestry, Sarah Kuku, Threads of Blessing artist, creates a lovely fish-eye view of mountains at sunset. The work measures 7 x 7 inches, and offers a unique take on a landscape scene with its circular format. The diagonally stitched lines draw the eye from the flora in the foreground to the mountains in the background. The brightly blazing colors of the sunset layered with the softer blue of the visible sky further define the movement of the setting sun.  

Sarah lives in Ruwenzori in western Uganda. 

Sarah, a single mother, offers this powerful insight on her life and her participation as a Threads of Blessing artist. “I lost my husband when I was still young. I had two children and no house. But the testimony I am giving here is that God pulled me through, and I have managed to raise my children with my needlework. I normally do beading and make tablecloths. I have put up a house for my children. God has blessed me through Threads of Blessing. I have done so many things. I thank God for that and pray that God continues to strengthen me. God Bless you!”
