The best part of this company though is the good their doing. Here is an excerpt from their website... “OneCommonThread.org has a mission to help women living in poverty in developing countries to earn an income. We do that by offering them the opportunity to work and make money from home, while still tending to their families. This provides them the opportunity to give themselves and their children a better and more stable way of life.

We do that one hexagon at a time.”
🤎
If EPP is something you love, please consider shopping one of One Common Threads kits for one of your next projects.
