Edmar Threads now at Sugar Shack Quilting! If you are not familiar with this type embroidery, there is no time like the present!It is beautiful and has a lot of possibilities. It is three dimensional so you can create object with it that are part of a picture without being flat like more common forms of needlework such as cross stitch.
Brazilian embroidery is a type of surface embroidery that uses rayon thread instead of cotton or wool. It is called "Brazilian" embroidery because the use of high-sheen rayon thread in embroidery was first popularized in Brazil. Brazilian embroidery patterns often include flowers formed using both knotted and cast on stitches.
I have wanted to do the lady shown here (her name is Verana) for ages but I just cannot seem to find the time in my chaotic life to finish my current stitching project (Mirablila's May's Emerald Fairy) so that I can move onto the next. I learned long ago that I need to finish one before I start another or the other NEVER gets done!
Watch for more patterns and books being added to the website over the next few months. Included the wonderful "A to Z of" books. If you have never seen an "A to Z of" you are missing out on an invaluable resource. We do have the A to Z of Brazillian Embroidery in the shop if you are interested please email me at tina@sugarshackquilting.ca.
