The importance that family has for Lucila Pedregal is reaffirmed in this patchwork wall decoration. Representing the birth of Jesus Christ, the arpillera features the biblical passage adapted to the Andean world. In a stable under a tree, we can see Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Animals such as sheep and llamas are also present. We can also observe a magnificent background showing both the telluric force of the Andes and the charming light of the Star.  The process of production is the following: Lucila makes the arpillera’s background by stitching together large pieces of cotton or cloth wool and then adds details by sewing miniatures. This piece is a fantastic fusion of Andean elements and religious beliefs that will be a great contribution to the decoration of your house or office.


  • 60% cotton, 40% synthetic.

  • It has a crochet rim.

  • Cloth fragments hand-sewn together.

  • The characters and objects have been stuffed with cotton and sewn to the arpillera, creating a unique 3D effect.

  • Many hours were needed in order to produce such work, completely handmade.

  • Bright colors and beautiful details make of this work a unique piece of folk art !
