Others have asked about that as well, so I'll post a quick description of the process one of these days. It's really quite easy.

It looks perfectly wonderful, and has just the right amount of variation to give it life.<br /><br />I love that filler stitch along the sides. I'd be interested to know how it was corded - do the cords cross over inside the fabric?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173025010564685685.post-4837509401645277172014-04-26T04:08:38.125-07:002014-04-26T04:08:38.125-07:00The rose window is exquisite!

You are so very sweet to look for inspiration there. xoxoneedle and nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051168892312750022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173025010564685685.post-23646635414851312182014-04-12T20:59:46.922-07:002014-04-12T20:59:46.922-07:00Thanks Michelle.

I'm working on some posts that describe the process and techniques of boutis, so one of these weeks (or months!), I'll get them posted. <br /><br />In the meantime, I want to make a little "critter" bag for a special 3 year old, so I am scouring your blog for some inspiration and good ideas on the subject, which I know I will find there.Seams Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783229116723144338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173025010564685685.post-45805628614325750112014-04-11T19:32:24.352-07:002014-04-11T19:32:24.352-07:00This little cell phone case is going to be a work ...This little cell phone case is going to be a work of art! <br /><br />It's funny, nearly every time you run a post about boutis I pour over your descriptions (which are very good, by the way) in the hopes of understanding the secret behind this beautiful needlework. And I've never been about to figure out how you fill the channels. <br /><br />Last night it finally dawned on me to look it up on YouTube. AMAZING! I'm just so impressed by the artistry and skills involved in what you do. needle and nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051168892312750022noreply@blogger.com
