Quilts from Lila Handcrafts

quiltLila Quilts are hand-made textiles of 100% cotton that is hand-dyed sewn in traditional designs. They have all the qualities of folk art: creative colors, imaginative designs, and perhaps slightly irregular in size or shape. The quilts are made by the Lila Handcrafts Cooperative - a group of Hindu women in a small village in the Thar desert region of Sindh, Pakistan. The fabric is dyed and printed by Muslim men in the community. The Lila cooperative has been together since 2004. They are using the profits to fund a primary school for their children. The Santa Fe Desert School is named after the Santa Fe Folk Art Market where their quilts have been sold for the last 4 years. Please enjoy looking at their beautiful work!

 

Bed Quilts

Bed quilts come in different sizes: child, twin and queen. The top is hand pieced in a variety of designs. The back is a block print of various colors. As each of these pieces is hand crafted, each is unique. Please contact us if you have specific questions. It is safest to dry clean the quilts or spot clean.
