Handwoven Cotton Table Runner in Turquoise from Guatemala, "Guatemala is Family"
"To us, blue represents the welcoming warmth of home," says a representative of Yama Aj Chixot Artisan Group in reference to the turquoise blue of this table runner. She explains that many of them feel an extraordinary sense of companionship when blue is present in their designs. "We tend to use blue a lot." They work in teams on the pedal loom, hand-weaving the table runner with cotton featuring the legendary wreath that appears in the huipil blouses worn by women in Guatemala.

I was surprised by the beauty of the colors and the quality of the construction! I bought this to be a beach bag as we live on the Gulf of Mexico. It s so nice that I use it around town for shopping! I ve loaned it to guests who also enjoy using this bag. It s over 2 years old now and looks as nice as when new. Thank you to the artist who makes a great product!!

The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
The association prides itself on protecting and preserving the very long-standing tradition of weaving using a floor loom. The women have all learned this technique from their mothers or grandmothers, and plan to teach their daughters as well.
Unfortunately many women in this area have been affected by miscarriages and the loss of newborns. This can cause a woman to go into a deep depression. Together they overcome these tragic events and provide constant support for one another.
Thanks to the work of these women, their children have the opportunity to study and have a better future. As an association, part of their income is donated to school infrastructure.
The association has been able to grow and increase their sales, which is then passed along to the women and their families.
The Yama Aj Chixot artisan group enables women to make a fair wage that helps them support their children.
Yama Aj Chixot Artisan Group has received a $200 microcredit loan with 0% interest.
This association generates employment for more than 125 women.
