Valentine's handkerchief

Taffeta handkerchief, embroidered using the "pé de flor" (flower stem) stitch and topped with the "pé de galo" (rooster" foot) stitch.

The central flower is made with the crochet technique. It is decorated with floral polychrome motifs and two overlapping hearts containing the words "Me" and "You" and, beneath them, the word "LOVE". Surrounding the flower at the centre, the following inscription: "My love for you is as big as the handkerchief is white / I will only stop loving you when the handkerchief whiteness disappears".
