Thanks - yes I hand appliqued just about all of it - except for the background strips - I didnt have an actual "pattern" for the background, so I pieced the grass and hill to the sky and when I got to a curve in the fence, or the rock wall [which is actually "bark" fabric] I hand appliqued the parts that I couldnt get the machine around.

I fused the little pussywillows and embroidered about a dozen straight stitches on each one and then drew in the branches in the middle section using pigma pens and another "paint brush" for fabrics pen - I can write it down some other time [messy...cant find them!]
