This is my latest free building pattern, Old French Farmhouse. I have been working on this pattern for several months. I played around with how I wanted it to look, never quite happy, then recently found a picture on Pinterest that pulled together what I was looking for. I knew I wanted exposed stone walls and used a stencil to make the stones, although I also just used my paintbrush to paint grit paste stones onto the walls, especially at the edges. I also designed this pattern so that the window trim is on the inside of the walls instead of the outside. You may have to pay extra attention when you glue on the trim. I glued a couple of pieces onto the outside and had to start over again.
