Peace of Thread giveaway

i want to introduce you to a wonderful organization, Peace of Thread.
i purchased the bag pictured above & LOVE the story & the ministry behind the bag.
my bag is gorgeous & made with exceptional quality.
the fabrics are AMAZING!

let me share their story, in their words...

• Denise goes to the Middle East for 7 years, learns Arabic, works with a non-profit, and falls in love with the culture and people.
• Meanwhile, stateside, a group of people called Generation Salaam (Arabic word for “peace”) are developing friendships with Iraqi refugees in Clarkston, Ga. Over the course of our friendships, it surfaces that their biggest need is jobs.
• Denise comes home and meets one of these women and gives her an old sewing machine. This woman is thrilled and the story begins.
• Shortly thereafter Generation Salaam does our annual summer camp for the kids and while the camp is happening, Denise and some other “Threaders” teach the women how to sew.
• The women love it and want to continue beyond just the summer camp week.
• We audaciously think we can start a business and give it a go.
• After months of training, getting connected to fabric distributers, finding wonderful designers, and rounding up more volunteers – we find ourselves at the beginning of an adventure!

Chic bags. Inspiring stories.
