Embroidery
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.
