Cotton table runner, 'Blue Garden'
Cotton table runner, 'Blue Garden'
Lacy petals bloom brightly on a garden of handloomed cotton. Combining red and white on blue, artisans from Thai Tribal Crafts create a delightful table runner in the style of Thailand's Lahu people. These hill tribe textiles are distinguished by patchwork appliqu�, and in their weaving, the pattern appears only on one side of the cloth. This piece is a personal expression of the individual artisan, thus the color and motif may vary slightly from that pictured.
