This is by far one of the coolest projects I've worked on. While on my last short-term missions appointment in Malawi, I worked on designs for their upcoming 40th Anniversary celebration.
One of those projects was designing the chitenje (ch-ten-gee) fabric for the church. As part of their culture, many celebrations are marked by specially designed fabric. Weddings, family celebrations, funerals, church events...many times have their own distinct chitenje design. The fabric is sold and used to make dresses, skirts, shirts, and chitenjes (cloth wraps for the women).
I'm so honored to have been part of the preparations for this awesome celebration of the UPC Church of Malawi. I still can't get how over cool it is to see it actually in print and on the fabric!
