Work by Chicontepec Embroideries

Bajelia Bautista and Magdalena Flores inherited the knowledge of embroidery from their families in Chicontepec, Veracruz and are now passing it on to their daughters-in-law.

They embroider napkins, blouses, table runners, bookmarks, and hand towels. Their designs mostly include colorful geometric flowers and their embroidery is very intricate.

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, a non-profit organization, produces the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
