Embroidery motives are used in clothing and in tablecloths, inspired by flowers (roses, lilies, bell-flowers, camellias), leaves (ivy, clover), pets, symbols, geometrical elements, the most typical one being the heart. The threads are made of blue or red cotton, and the cloth is white or raw-coloured. Several stitches are used, such as ant, flower stem, chain, sieve, and backstitches.
