Blue Bird Theme Maya Backstrap Woven Cotton Cushion Cover 'Quiche Birds'

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.
