I started tacking the stones to a temporary cloth. just to see them together, to keep them in plain sight. I've numbered them on the back, which has me thinking, maybe I could stitch them on to the actual feather cloth as I receive them, in number order, as they arrive. Like stepping stones to something. Maybe a path forward.
I just added one from Lorraine..., 3 from Joan Turner, and 9 from Mary Ruth Smith... somehow I lost the one I made, so I will make another.
