Lucky you, to have someone close that does their own designs - I haven't seen HAND Brazillian Embroidery - I hope we have someone that will share some pictures of it or knows how to do it.

I've never heard of it before.....
Perhaps you should have asked if you could take a photo of some, I always do and I always have my mobile phone to take quick snapshots. The camera was the only reason I bought a new phone :-)))

Yes, they are beautiful! Embroidery is a typical region of the Northeast. (hue and purity). I bought a beautiful toalçha when I went there. Deanna, when I go back, I'll buy one for you, ok?! The embroiderers, the sidewalks are embroidering. It has many beautiful things.
