Precise geometric motifs alternate with birds in an exquisite design. From talented members of Women United for Artisan Development, the cushion cover is woven by hand on a backstrap loom. Cording defines the borders, and the back is solid grey. "We love birds," the artisans confide. "This design was woven by women who live in Quiché, a forested region in western Guatemala."
Should one of the threads snag, they suggest you pull it back into place from the back of the fabric with a fine crochet hook.

I really like these cases. The workmanship is excellent and the design is so typical of Mayan culture. They are not cheap, but well worth spending a little more for something beautiful and hand loomed.

I love the design on front, and the back zipper is hidden— well designed and carefully made. It seems like it will last a long time too.

I use to live in Guatemala and use to enjoy going to all the craft shows. I have a house full of treasures from Guatemala. Use to go to the old capital by bus with al the chickens. Scary bus ride from Tuguesagalpa. I love the work that all of your womans group does! Thank you!

This table runner is just beautiful, and has so many colors in it, it could go with lots of decor. It sa bit long for my table in it s everyday length but I can fold it up for now and then when we extend it for company it will be perfect.
