Casa Caiada Point
The stitch used in most of Textur's paintings is the “Casa Caiada”. This stitch was created by Maria Digna and Edith Pessôa de Queiroz in the mid-1960s, in the Zona da Mata and Agreste regions of Pernambuco. They made a variation of the “Ponto Cruz” to create the “Casa Caiada”. This new technique was shared with other women in the region, which provided them with a job opportunity, increased self-esteem and financial independence.
In addition to Casa Caiada, in some paintings Luiza uses the “Rosinha” and “Smyrna” stitches, which is a different technique, but with the same material (100% wool).
