Yes this is on my list too - by the way, the pattern is from the book Traditional Boutis by Christiane Vignal - this book was re-edited and a couple more projects were added, including this one with the wonderful oval motifs. You can get the book in the USA in English for those who are interested.
I received a couple of comments about patterns from France Boutis. I would be happy to reply if you let me know who you are - if you don't post a profile on blogger, you show up as "unknown".
France Boutis publishes patterns donated by members, and a few of those are now being printed on batiste. I will ask the ladies who manage that if they would send to the USA. France Boutis accepts PayPal, so I think this should be no problem at all. The only issue there might be is that not all of them are posted to the website. I will post an update when I have more definite information.
A bonus that the ladies of Lei Roucas dou Barri were all wearing their costumes (made by hand of course)
Yes another one on my list on the table - bear in mind my list is years old from my pattern collection, and I will need many more years to complete them
Hiromi's friend who was brave enough to put up with us - and she does not do boutis ! Also it was her first visit to France.
The stand of France Boutis - all these ladies do wonderful work, and volunteer many hours to support FB. Annie Claude Pantel and her husband Roger are on the right - they keep FB going in a wonderful spirit
It was a wonderful couple of days, a very long journey for us, even though we only traveled from Germany (Pfalz) to Pierrefeu, still 9 hours drive. My husband is a patient man, for many years now he has put up with my various Boutis extravagances and passions, but it is all worth it.
