Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery

For all my Mayan Customers, this is it!  The last shopping day EVER!

For the rest of my customers 2 Crafty Frog Shopping Days to Christmas.

Today in honour of my Mayan customers, I thought we would feature the art of Brazilian Embroidery ... OK it is a bit South of the Yucatan Peninsula, but at least it is the same continent.

EdMar Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery
#1020 Carol's Heart

This 3-dimensional design was designed by Maria Freitas. The embroidery pattern comes on a 16 " X 16 " (approx 40cm x 40cm) trigger fabric and the embroidery design is 9 X 7 " (approx 21cm x 16cm)

The Brazilian embroidery flowers include Daisies, French Hydrangeas, Eucalyptus flowers, Almond Blossoms and more. Brazilian Embroidery Hearts and Flowers Designs that are wonderful as individual designs or can be put together to make a quilt.



You can create this dramatic sampler using only eight basic embroidery design stitches!

This design plus many more are available now at Crafty Frog, Kambah.  Please note this is for the fabric only .... the friendly staff will be happy to provide a quote on kitting it up.



Cheers
( To all my Mayan customers ... Thanks for the memories
... everyone else I will see you tomorrow)

Boye Punch Needle Set

Great for the beginner, the experienced user, or as a gift. Variety allows for more uses and applications as can be used with fine medium and thick thread and floss or yarn. Easy to adjust allows for greater variety in textures.
Punch Needle Embroidery Set includes 3 color coded needles sizes 1.2, 1.6, & 2.2mm, needle guide, & needle threader.

About Punch Needle:
Punch Needle goes back to the Ancient Egyptians. They developed the technique of threading fibers through the hollow bones of birds wings in order to   Punch  the threads through cloth, creating a nubby, three-dimensional effect.
Punch Needle uses a special needle, hoop, weaver's cloth (or any tightly woven fabric, such as muslin), and embroidery floss to create designs that consist of tiny loops. The designs are miniature so punch needle is a perfect way to use up some of those stashes of floss we all have from other projects. The needle is a hollow tube. A special long threader is used to thread the needle. There is no counting involved. You are just filling in color areas. The project is worked in a hoop from the back of the fabric. The tiny loops are placed close together so the finished product has a textured, chenille look.
