Patchwork Tapestry – Harvest

34”x9.5” Fabric, cloth fragments
 Hand-sewn three dimensional fabric collage depicting a harvest.

A great holiday gift idea from El Picaflor. The term “arpillera” means a rough, course fabric.  It derives from an old Chilean tradition of using old remnants of fabric to make hand-sewn appliqués. These patchwork tapestries are made by a co-op of women in Peru and they tell stories of life. This one shows the typical Andean harvest.  Variations in color and textures are natural to this item and make it unique. Hanger not included.
