Traditionally Pueblo embroidery is worked on monk cloth, a loosely woven fabric. Ramoncita embellishes ceremonial garments with this distinctive stitch including pueblo dresses, mantas, ceremonial shirts and vests. We will learn about this needle art and see some of the beautiful items Ramoncita makes and embroiders when we visit her.
