Guatemalan Table Runner : 53" x 12" plus fringe; Red w/ blue, green, purple

Description

A family of now young adults and I have informally adopted each other. For the past 12 years I have been visiting them. Each year they lavish me with gifts. This is one of several items from there. Their textiles are most wonderful. Last time I was there my daughter wanted to learn to make a piece of cloth on their backstrap loom. So we bought the threads and hired a friend with a loom. It soon became a group project as it was far more work than I ever could have imagined! I now have a serious respect for the work that go into these pieces.
This one has short fringe on one end and longer on the other. The work on it is stunning!
ALL proceeds go back to Guatemala in the form of scholarships. So thanks for bidding! Feel free to ask questions.
