Tapestry from Aguas Calientes (PB-05)
Traditional Pieced 67 " x 55 " Priscilla writes, "The women from Aguas Calientes, a town just outside the colonial city of Antigua, are renowned for weaving the finest brocade in the country. The detailed overall pattern of the "huipil" (blouse) spoke to me and guided my inspiration. I chose an Amish color palette for a more "formal" look. Guatemalan textiles and Amish colors complement each other in the best way! I enjoyed adding the horizontal and vertical central strips to symbolize the shoulder division and front seam of the two-paneled "huipil"." The quilt uses traditional piecing and provides a great opportunity to play with many fabrics and colors. The pattern is filled with practical tips, artistic insight, and is meant to unleash your creative spirit!
