Women of the Corn

My
latest needlefelting project is this wall hanging for a raffle
fundraiser benefiting Mujeres de Maiz Opportunity Foundation, a
grassroots non-profit organization based in Sequim, Washington helping
young women in Chiapas, Mexico. Mujeres de Maiz provides access to
education for indigenous women in a seamstress cooperative, including
literacy training, secondary school, vocational courses and college or
university degrees. The raffle prizes will also include some beautiful
quilted art by my mother, and other local handcrafted items. To learn
