This is an attempt to another Portuguese traditional stitch - the embroidery of Castelo Branco - it is embroidered with silk thread on linen.
I don't know how correctly made the stitches are, as I made it searching on an old book and magazines for instructions on the stitches.
Besides victorian I love the celtic era, so these curtains I embroidered for my bedroom are celtic knots.
A design I conceived for a RR .
A monochrom pattern, that I decided to have in many colours.

This embroidery is mainly used for cushions, bed spreads and wall hangings.

What stunning work you do. - Sandra.
Your works are very pretty, love your rugs and the flowers done in Portuguese traditional stitch - great job!
Cristina, you do some awesome work.I love the curtains with the Celtic knots, a wonderful idea. And the autumn square on the RR looks adorable.
So interesting Cristina to hear about and see the Portuguese rugs. While in New Bedford Mass. last summer at a needlework seminar at the Whaling Museum - we saw many examples of Portuguese needlework - apparently New Bedford has a very strong Portuguese influence. We also had some wonderful sausage - can't recall the name that was a traditional Portie recipe. Thanks for sharing - Melody
Merveilleux!!!!
