Just in Case You Missed the Sunflowers in France....

Five years ago, we started taking groups of women to the South of France to learn to live like a rural Frenchwoman...while living in a 17th century chateau!  We have just returned from our month in France with Amy Butler who was our guest artist for the month of June.  Everything was going according to plan, except for the sunflowers...who were barely visible...due to all of the rain in France this past winter and spring.  A highlight of our summer trips, the sunflowers were sorely missed!  To make up for our lost beauties, Arlene Baker, the master flower maker, will be joining us at French General this Saturday, July 6th for her Ribbon Sunflower Workshop.  Sign up soon to reserve your spot..this class is not to be missed!
More soon on our trip to France..including some of our beautiful found treasures that will be listed in our petite brocante at frenchgeneral.com
Merci!

This looks absolutely amazing. Please please please will you consider offering this as an online tutorial? I would just love to learn how to make one of these beauties.

I'm sure the sunflowers were greatly missed! Beautiful fabric on though!
