Hello! Thank you, I am familiar with the Maltese history, they have a tradition of such wonderful work. You will find similar techniques used throughout Europe in much earlier periods too, here is a list of silk flower shrines from the medieval period, many of which use the same techniques as those used later in Malta. I find it truly fascinating how decorative textile techniques can be found is so many different places. www.roxelana.com/silke/shrines.html
