My Pear III

on
For a quilter these little Pears of the PPPP 2015 project are great fun. Easy to work in small time snippets they fill a creative void. As always I thank Marly of Samplers and Santas Blog for providing the designs. Happy little buggers, aren't they?   https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVKWIGu8NSh2oPQCdrKwVhLjHM_Oh5h_ru-o-dCkTLiZuteXiL2XNEcwepjSgU8xFmlZQVhIHmifzOMQ1c5CPc7pRTUtX2tg0_hGF6sFbUXkCO6jlnjuUk3Tx28Orqbu6k-NNLB-sbfgh/s1600/feb+014.JPG
So this is my Pear III. I chose it because the heart/clover design is reminding me of St.Patrick's Day. Marly has chosen such lovely colors for this one and the linen is lighter than her usual choice providing stunning contrast with the greens. This one will be fun. 
The chart.
over one stitch

  • I am going to try Marley's working method, doing the first cross in a horizontal run and the second in a vertical run on the pattern. With a large area filled with stitches this should prove to keep the quality of the stitch constant.
  • In my travels this coming season I plan to seek out stitch shops as well as quilt shops. If Mr. Sewtopia can deal with it that is!
  • Of course, I will need to be prudent with how much paraphernalia I travel with. Uh, huh.
  • Insert smile here (((( :)))))

I love the pears, they are lovely. I don't quite understand what you mean about the stitching part. The horizontal run I understand, but am not sure what you mean by vertical run? Are there pictures somewhere?

There are a lot of lovely stitching shops out there, you'll have fun.

Hi Val, thanks for the encouragement! When Marly described her technique I took it to mean that after stitching the first horizontal rows she then works from the top of the design down to the bottom making that the second cross but in a vertical fashion. I probably have done this without thinking, you know, just stitching away. I want to try it on this one because the large stitched area would be a good place to practice.
