Suzani Throw Pillow sesami-service and runoff chainstitch at theCut from a mid to late 19th century Suzani Uzbekistan. I found this Suzani on a sourcing trip through Central Asia. It was hand embroidered in Uzbekistan, likely made by a woman, or a group of women, in preparation for a wedding. The floral patterns, the sunburst shapestheyre bold, but not flashy. Stitched onto handwoven cotton, the threadwork shows age in the best way. Some areas are worn thin, others repaired with care. Its lived a life. Passed
