Two plump ducks face each other, each with a sprig of leaves rising from its back and a scalloped wing that echoes the ripple of water. There is an easy, cheerful charm here that would make even a grumpy morning a bit lighter. At 15 inches wide and 11 inches high it fits a standard frame or makes a sweet cushion front. A kitchen, a lake house or your bathroom wall would all suit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolas are built by stacking several layers of colored cotton, then cutting down through one layer at a time so the colors underneath show through, and turning every raw edge under and stitching it closed by hand. The technique is called reverse appliqué, and a good panel is judged by how fine the stitches are and how many layers deep the cutting goes. This one came from Guna Yala, the San Blas islands off Panama's Caribbean coast, where the designs draw on the birds, fish, plants and geometric patterns of the islands and rainforest. It is ready to frame, mount, or sew into a pillow or a quilt panel, and no two are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1991, TraderBrock celebrates the handcraft of Latin America's indigenous peoples.
