      <image:title>Introduction to Basic Boutis: Learn How - “Rose Blue” - A visit to Notre Dame Cathedral is always inspirational, whether it inspires quiet mediation, or whether thoughts on a particular visit are more inclined to reflect on its rich history and the grandeur of its architecture and art. It is one of these visits that inspired the idea of designing a boutis piece of the rose window of the southern transept, Rose Sud.</image:title>

      <image:title>Introduction to Basic Boutis: Learn How - “la Rosace Bleue” - Une visite à la cathédrale Notre-Dame est toujours source d'inspiration, qu'elle incite à la méditation silencieuse ou que les pensées d'une visite particulière soient davantage portées sur la richesse de son histoire et la grandeur de son architecture et de son art. C'est l'une de ces visites qui a inspiré l'idée de dessiner un boutis représentant la rosace du transept sud, Rose Sud.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Speaking of traditional needlework, another intriguing learning opportunity presented itself and was too enticing to dismiss. Over the years, learning the origins and history of traditional needlearts, has become an area of interest and study for me. An opportunity to learn the history and the traditional technique of Crewel Embroidery from a master of the craft, was an opportunity not to be missed. Now all I need are more hours in a day to accommodate all my various stitching endeavours. ( A lot more hours!!!!)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Introduction to Basic Boutis: Learn How - Sakura Blush is… - We have two lovely Japanese watercolour prints that have always given me pleasure. Over the years, I have spent many quiet moments examining the design and the patterns and they have left quite an impression on me. In my boutis design, both the cherry blossom and its surrounding frame, have been inspired by the symbols on the samurai’s kimono. The floral design on the sleeve is a cherry blossom. “Sakura” is the Japanese word for cherry tree blossom.</image:title>
