One of a set of five placemats. Can somebody enlighten me - is this type of cutwork embroidery in grey thread also known as Madeira? I should know; I can always ask at the Guild, but I'm sure someone reading this will tell me!

TO my knowledge, this is not Madiera embroidery. Madiera embroidery is an inset and, in my opinion, resembles more of a fine french handsewing. You will see a shape cut out and then "appliqued" to the ground fabric, then the ground fabric is cut away.
To me, this form - with the grey thread - looks Italian but I don't know any more than that.
