APPLES TO ZINNIAS

Welcome to the Art of Brazilian Embroidery! This technique uses familiar classic stitches but executes them in vibrantly colored rayon threads whose sheen and suppleness allow three dimensional designs to be created easily. The flora and fauna virtually jump off the fabric with realistic looking petals, foliage, bullions, and stems, all worked into a graceful alphabet sampler. With the helpful pull out stitching sequence, you can individualize the designs and turn them into a decorative pillow, tote bag or whatever suits your fancy. An inspiration to any embroiderer wanting to expand her horizons.
