Brazilian Stitch Group
The stitch group met on Sunday to begin a Brazilian Embroidery project. Before stitching, we had a bit of show and tell of recent projects. All of the NHK Partnership blocks are finish (mine has already been mailed).
First thing for our new project is renshu (practice). I think the most difficult part of Brazilian Embroidery is the slick z-twist rayon thread. We practiced a number of different stitches and decided we need some additional practice before we can begin our project, which is a small pin.
For tea time, we were like the polar bear block and went for kakigori. Here is a post about the last time we went to this shop together. The menu looks the same.
Strawberry Milk Kakigori
Two Macha Kakigori
This is mine - anko (sweet beans) with fruit.
Until next time, we will be practicing Brazilian stitches and planning the designs for our project.

Hi Pamela wow such pretty work ,great to get together with the girls,hope you have a lovely day my friend xx
The projects are amazing! And the Kakigori, wow!
I've read that Brazilian rayon thread can be tricky to work with, I'm sure your group will get it figured out soon and I'm looking forward to seeing your work.
The NHK animal blocks are really charming! There will be so many different animals at the show.
Your Hadanger and Assissi look beautiful and the Brazilian Embroidery pins will, too, but it is a good idea to practise first. The threads ARE tricky.
Your tea time is so COOL!
Your group produce such beautiful work. xx
Pretty works from your group.
I love the look of Brazilian Embroidery!! I have always wanted to give it a try. How great that you have a group of ladies to learn the technique together.
