places to find Books for BE

JDR has some books and they describe them a little for U.S. people they also have Brandie's Video.DVD
I have this book JDR Brazilian Embroidery Book 1 by Ria Ferrell.
The video has much of the same things. what is not in the video By Brandie is explained in the pdf files on the DVD. The only flower Iam not sure of being in there is the carnation.
I have North American Flowers in three dimentional embroidery also and I think you want to try some simpler things first at least that is how I feel.

Today's Mail

More mail today the skeins have 50m on them. Soo there is lots of stitching in them.

Where to go for resourses for BE. Search your local library. If you find a book on the internet try to get it through inter library loans. They really help the pocket book.

what came on Monday

Here is some more threads that I ordered. There are some Brazilian discontinued threads that are similar to edmar. I want to do a fair bit of BE this winter.

Blog giveaway update the squishy has a fair bit of moire samples several in blues and a couple of other colours too. There are some braids and fancy damask ribbons and there will be more too. Remember to enter on my Birthday post.

Lazy Daisy Flower

Lazy Daisy Brazillian Flowers are my favourite so far. I just love the tips on the bullians. Tonight Im working on the Rolled Rose maybe Ill have a new favorite tomorrow.

Brazilian Embroidery supplies

Look what came today. This Video is most excellent. Brandie Milka is the instructor on the dvd and she sells it herself for 24.50 cnd which is cheeper than I have seen. She also sells Edmar Threads and supplies. she doesnt have a web page yet but her email is oberon1@telus.net for those of you who are from Canada she is in Edmonton. It is nice to order and not have to worry about duty. Now to get at that pillow.
