Spanish dancers are a cultural icon and those dresses and the Look of Spanish dancers is a source of pride for many Spaniards and other Latins as well. If it offends you by all means don't stitch it but don't be rude to our generous host. She gives up her own time and talent and shares it with us.Bigcielo67https://www.blogger.com/profile/08336086309975532277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960127589817125050.post-12068496774409516552012-02-22T10:45:58.658-05:002012-02-22T10:45:58.658-05:00OH MY GOSH!!!! excited and I want it I want it.OH MY GOSH!!!! excited and I want it I want it.Bigcielo67https://www.blogger.com/profile/08336086309975532277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960127589817125050.post-65223698905091647852011-10-06T13:14:58.229-05:002011-10-06T13:14:58.229-05:00Thanks for sharing!Lovely blog....Thanks for sharing!Lovely blog....SVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349848147416261563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960127589817125050.post-12440647031605844562010-06-06T17:12:40.149-05:002010-06-06T17:12:40.149-05:00Hi anonymous!

Also, I think it very important that we preserve even the elements of our culture that we are uncomfortable with since they serve as lessons to instruct us as to how "not to" represent people. I think a greater mistake would be to let them fade into obscurity and thus we draw the false conclusion that these stereotypes never existed.<br /><br />As a Mexican, I find these particular south of the border patterns not offensive, cute, and hilarious. There's my 2 cents.floresitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684933322612185834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960127589817125050.post-49989631109843333272010-06-06T11:27:23.826-05:002010-06-06T11:27:23.826-05:00As a stitcher I really like your collection of vin...As a stitcher I really like your collection of vintage patterns and appreciate your sharing with others. Nevertheless, while the patterns look "cute" to some people have you considered that some are very stereotypical (to say the least) and sometimes even offensive? Do you also offer free "Mammie" patterns? You know the ones with African- Americans? What about Native- Americans? They were popular back then. Take a closer look at the "Mexican" patterns. What is the message they are preserving? Your name is Florecita, Spanish for little flower right?
