Who is this "Sunshine" lady?

Cheryl Schuler aka Sunshine of Hunter, North Dakota.

In 1998 a machine quilting shop owner went to a class on Brazilian Embroidery and an addict was formed. Sunshine started a small retail BE shop, Brazilian Elegance, to help supply her addiction. Demonstrating, hosting stitching groups, teaching and designing began.  In 1999 Brazilian Elegance and JDR Brazilian Embroidery became JDR Brazilian Elegance. 

In January of 2000 Sunshine developed the web site: www.jdr-be.com to bring Brazilian Embroidery to the world.  

Sunshine, for JDR, develops her own designs and purchases other designs and copyrights them for JDR-BE.  Sunshine writes/re-writes all of the directions and draws all of the graphics for those designs – putting "Sunshine" in every design.  Sunshine does all the web work, promotion, advertising and marketing of all JDR's products.   

Sunshine joined the BDEIG in 1999 and became extremely involved  in 2001 when she was elected to the position of Seminar Chairman Elect. She was the Seminar Chairman for the seminar that was held in June 2003. Some say it was the "Best seminar they ever attended!"
Two years of intensive work resulted in a seminar to be proud of!

She was the "Past Seminar Chairman" and was a member of the seminar committee for the 2004 seminar.

Sunshine has voluntarily developed and maintains the official Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery International Guild's Web site. www.bdeig.org    She is the chairman of the guild's web site committee. She works hard at promoting Brazilian Embroidery and the BDEIG!

About three years ago Wrapped In Stitches and two other small companies were purchased and JDR expanded – exploded!  A year ago, Sunshine purchased another company and will be re-introducing 35 wonderful designs that have been "missing" for several years. 
JDR-BE now not only produces and sells it's own designs but most other designers patterns too!  60 new designs are expected to be on the market in 2004-2005. 

Cheryl Sunshine Schuler wrote "Sunshine’s Treasures, Book 1".

Sunshine also will be publishing a How to do Brazilian Embroidery book.

Currently she is hosting an on-line tutorial/class for the very beginners and a class project will be worked on soon. This should be ready soon so you might want to contact her if you are interested in participating.

Currently she is the host of an active on-line stitching group "Sunshine's Stitchers".  Join stitchers from around the world in chats. Great information! Helpful Hints!

Sunshine also has bad eyesight and tends to not have her glasses on when she needs them......so she makes everything in her directions and the web site so she can see them. BIG!

In September she begins teaching classes again in Hunter and travels to other communities for teaching and demonstrating.

She has been certified to teach Brazilian Embroidery.

She has successfully completed a Canadian-American Instructors Course and is qualified to teach Brazilian Embroidery.

Sunshine and Larry work and live in a schoolhouse, have a son, Jonathan, 3nd year in college, two married daughters, and three grandbabies and two wonderful son-in laws!  
Now how exactly did the "Sunshine" come about?  Larry met Cheryl 27 years ago.  Larry called Cheryl "Sunshine" from the very first date. They  celebrated (2004) their 25th anniversary!  

Sunshine loves to garden when she has a spare moment. 

Sunshine has a puppy-  Daisy. 

Sunshine loves hearing from you about your stitching projects.

And .............she kicks up her heels in joy when she hears about a brand new BE stitcher!
