Sharing the Dream Guatemala - A land of Hope - Esperanza I came back from a fiber tour in Guatemala....a fiber addicts heaven. My mind is so full of color! suitcase full of textiles and scenes from the country continue to occupy my mind. I am so excited. I did find a little colorgrown cotton still in use and a small project I'm hoping to be able to contact and support. I can't believe there is so little cotton grown there now...this is were the original seeds came from! Nearly all my purchases came from the people recovering from the genocide of the 80's, the projects that give the women a fair price for their weaving. And some products either produced by young men or as in one group the women wove the cloth and the men made the products using the sewing machine. The items were sent back to Sharing the Dream in Guatemala. I will be getting new items.
