I don't think anyone can continue reading without first looking at the beautiful details of this BDEIG Seminar Scholarship project. Member Kathy Nicklas of Colorado has quilted blocks stitched by 25 of our members into this 45" x 45"� quilt, and Kathleen Duffy has prepared a beautifully machine-embroidered quilt label with names of each creative stitcher. The chance to win this quilt, which will be presented during BDEIG Seminar 2013 in June, is available to everyone whether a guild member or not. All proceeds will go toward scholarships to next year's BDEIG Seminar. If you or any of your stitching or quilting friends would like to purchase a ticket, please contact Jenean Lindsey. You can pay for your tickets with PayPal or by check. Good luck!  We hope you win. 

 BDEIG Seminar - June 10-16, 2013

Concordia University - Portland, Oregon

Theme:  Tea, Thyme and Lavender

Click around a while during your visit here. You'll find all BDEIG Seminar classes listed with instructors' names, class descriptions and photos that you can also double-click for a closer look. 

New B.E. designs for stitching are also posted and guild members will be able to access the "Design of the Month"� page for an additional B.E. design. The stitching fun never stops!

 If you've heard about Brazilian embroidery but can't seem to find more information or classes anywhere, you've come to the right place. We have a page listing local chapters and you'll be warmly welcomed to join a group near you. There is an online chapter that will help you find answers to questions, and you can always contact any fellow member. This is the friendliest group of creative stitch artists, and you will find that we are all joined by our love of Brazilian dimensional embroidery.
