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 red. "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.

"Beautifully made"
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.
