100% Cotton Dark Blue Cushion Cover with Gray and Blue Lines, "Thoughts on Blue"
Made by an artisan group of weavers in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, this dark blue cushion cover is a high quality textile made with a foot loom. The artisans are very interested and passionate about the preservation of the use of the foot loom to make textiles; another goal of theirs is to educate more women in this art and process, as historically the foot loom has been used mostly by men. This dark blue cushion cover features the same design on the front as on the back: thin looped lines in different shades of blue and gray. The back of the cushion has slit in which to insert the cushion.

"Nice Fabric"
Thick deep navy with lighter colored accents make this a perfect match in my bedroom. No zipper, just a fold over opening on the back.

"Nice scarf"
My wife tell me she would have given the card a 5-star rating if it had been just a little bit softer. Perfect length, nice weave.

"Beyond Beautiful"
I used this on my very long black dresser. It looks amazing! I bought another one which is similar for a tabletop runner. A beautifully handcrafted piece that I will cherish forever. My room looks so much better with this piece. It gives the room a serene romantic feel.
