Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery International Guild, Inc.

Welcomes you

Greetings from the president of Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery International Guild  

Looking ahead, we see growing interest and excitement in contemporary needle art – the personal satisfaction one gets as they create beauty from stitches. For BDEIG members who receive our quarterly newsletter, The B.E. Wrap-Up, you’ll discover how Brazilian embroidery has grown, changed and developed since its earliest days.

Spend time visiting our website (bookmark the long url, or the shorter one: www.bdeig.info) and you’ll find even more helpful information about B.E., including links to supplies, stitches and other information.

You still have time to register and attend our annual BDEIG Seminar -- June 21-27 at Concordia University, Portland, Oregon. There is a special lower registration fee of $20 to celebrate the start of our next twenty years as a guild, and you’ll be able to select classes (visit the Seminar 2012 page). 

Those who include embroidery as part of their early memories have pleasantly discovered that they have since turned into “Middle-Aged Marvels” with an amazing ability to re-cycle themselves. David Bainbridge in his book, Middle Age: A Natural History, writes that when humans evolve to middle age, women develop “an evolutionary boost in which they can teach children and young adults important skills and perspectives that will advance the species – if they listen.” Many of our guild members are also teachers, continuously sharing their stitching knowledge with others. 

Check out our new "Design of the Month", a series of designs from our many talented designers, each up for one month only in celebration of our 20th anniversary, and look for other free Brazilian dimensional embroidery designs that you can stitch, as well as stitch guides. 

Stay with us a while and look around. You’ll be glad you did. We will be, too!
