Unframed Tapestry

This hand-stitched tapestry created by Anna Uromacamu, Threads of Blessing artist, measures 12 x 7.5 inches. Anna offers a front-row seat to an antelope race. Three antelope gallop and jump across the canvas. Patterned foliage separates the foreground and middle ground and recedes into a background of rolling hills under a light blue sky.

Anna lives in Erussi, a small village in Nebbi District. Erussi is nestled in the mountains of northwest Uganda and is located on the border with the Congo. Anna is a leader in Threads of Blessing and was a teacher for many years. She offers this insight on how the income from her Threads of Blessing work has impacted her life. 

“Praise the Lord.  I want to thank God for what he has done for me through Threads of Blessing.  All the income from this project has helped me to support the university education of my daughter Philippa who is my last born.  I have also invested the money in my small kitchen construction.  It has also helped me with some domestic affairs, especially in feeding the needy.  Finally, out of my yearly income, I have paid my tithe to the Lord.  May the Lord bless our friends abroad especially in West Texas Diocese. Thank you.”
