Fiber Talk with M’Lou and Bill Bancroft

This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Our guests are M’Lou and Bill Bancroft, originators of Honduras Threads, which started with a church mission trip and has become a life-changing operation for the families in Honduras. M’Lou and Bill guided the business through its initial growing pains to become a significant income generator that has empowered the women stitchers and helped their children realize their dreams of advanced education. Along the way, the Bancrofts have received support from their congregation and many people in the textile arts community. They’ve also benefitted from some commission work that raised the bar for everyone in the organization. In our conversation we hear the story of Honduras Threads. In our Feb. 21 Stitch Hour, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel, M’Lou and Bill will join us live so we can experience and talk about the products the ladies in Honduras create and sell. Visit the Honduras Threads website to learn how you can support this tremendous program.–Beth and Gary
