The Pear Tree

Posted January 22, 2010

I have been stitching  frantically to get the projects ready for Merimbula.  The pear tree is finished and I have loved stitching it and I am very pleased with the finished results. I will be dashing off to the framers next week so I can have it ready when classes start in February.  However…..I fear it will be too large for many people to attempt so….. I am designing a smaller one without needle lace …. keep watching!  The trunk and the thread painted pear are done……………

    Was the inspiration the Pear tree in Vermont? I love it and will be stitching one, maybe with a red squirrel and Cardinal.
