What our customers say:
BREATHTAKING! ... when I opened the box, the treasure awaiting was beyond
words...I immediately laid it out on my bed and took a very long time
studying and feeling all of the intricate embroidery and it brought me to
tears through a huge smile. Nothing this beautiful can be made
without heartfelt passion, depth of
soul and willingness to share.
I am so grateful to the incredible artisans who crafted this spectacular
quilt and to your team for bringing these unique, heirloom-quality
and "life-changing gifts" to us. Thank You, Steph
Speziali, Plainfield, CT |

What our customers say...
The mixed huipile quilt I just received is so beautiful, its hard
not to just stare at it. There is so many details in the cloth, embroidery, and
cross stitching. I do hope the quilt makers know that their work is appreciated.
Thanks,
Evelyn Rollins.
More: I
received my patchwork quilt today and when I saw the treasure
inside, I almost cried... Its beauty defies description
and I have to keep looking at it over and over again because I
see
something new each time... My husband and I visited Guatemala,
Belize and Costa Rica and I have never seen anything like this, nor
have I seen this level of workmanship. It is truly one of the
most beautiful things I own... Thanks! Kris Dean, Mechanicsville,
VA

Our Handmade Guatemalan Patchwork Quilts: are renowned for their beauty.
The patches come from fabric Mayan women have sewn to make their skirts and "huipiles", which are the traditional hand-woven, embroidered blouses that Mayan
women began wearing around the time of the Spanish conquest. [Click
