Can't wait to see your next one.
Emilia's Nana, I am crazy but not that crazy. I didn't mark those pebbles at all. I did mark all the leaf and vine in the sashing and the swallows in the cornerstones and even a lot of the spines in the feathers, but not the pebbles. I stitched the "trench" to lay them in and that helped keep them somewhat uniform but there are a lot that are rather, er, um, freeform, yeah, that's the ticket, Freeform (which sounds much better than lopsided)!
