Sponsorship "Blooms"


This is not the greatest photo but just wanted to share this with you. Rhonda wanted something for us to show, when we were "on the road" with the rug, an illustration of how many women we had sponsored to date. It takes the sale of about 26 flowers for us to sponsor one women. We have sponsored 13 women so..... we put our heads together and came up with the piece above. It is an acacia tree (like an umbrella), we put 26 flowers on the tree and as one flower is sold we take one flower off of the tree. Our goal was 20 women and when one women is sponsored we add another women to the piece beside a green bucket (like the one in the rug) under the tree. When a women is sponsored, we put the flowers back on the tree and then do the process all over again. Thank you to Joan for her artistic talents. Thank you to all the ladies at the picnic our rug hooking guild branch had yesterday which totalled almost 90 women and do you know that the sun shone even though the weather forecasts said rain!!!!
