This is a large Christmas stocking made by the artisans at Santa Magdalena using the traditional arpillera or patchwork art of sewing three dimensional designs. I also have two of their wall hangings and can say they are excellent artisans in this art and I love their work. This stocking has a star shooting through the sky, and a stable picturing the nativity. This nativity is very simple, with adorable figures representing the mother, father and the baby Jesus, surrounded by many, many Andean animals and trees, cacti, flowers and mountains. Each time you look at the stocking you will see something else they have sewn. I really love this stocking very much. I thank these ladies and wish them a very Happy Christmas!

This is my second purchase from Leonor Quispe, her work is phenomenal! These decorative mitts are so well made with the colors and details, I have put them on the wall as decorative accent pieces. Thank you Leonor Quispe for sharing your talent!

I had been looking at this for years and finally decided to treat myself to it. I am so glad I did. It is even more beautiful - way more beautiful - than shows in the picture. First, the colors are really intense - just gorgeous. Second - something you would never know from the picture - it has a lot of interesting texture. Many of the parts are raised and it gives it an extra depth and interest. I hadnt bought it earlier since we didnt know where to put it and figured wed find someplace. It is so wonderful that we are rearranging other things to give it a featured place in our diningroom. I have 5 other Peruvian hangings and I love them all very much .- but this one is unique in its artistry and originality.
