Stitched Treasures from Mexico

My friend and yoga teacher, Katherine, brought me some stitched treasures from her latest trip to Mexico.

I love the bright colors and the childlike expressiveness of these little embroideries.

While trying to figure out what stitch was used to create these, I became fascinated by the back of each piece.

I plan to add these to my growing collection of Latin American textiles. I could definitely see some future block designs based on these.
