A Few Canned Pears

The pattern "Canned Pears" by Fig Tree was a delight to make.


It was made for a friend and was really hard to give to her.  LOL!


I struggled with how to quilt inside the pears.  I finally decided on a wavy line.  Since there was so much quilting in the background, I had to do something in the pears.


I also made the Moda Alphabet quilt out of American Jane "Ducks In A Row," for the same friend.


This quilt received a little in the ditch and a simple loopy meander.

Donna asked that I show the quilting on my Bali Tile quilt so here it is.



I used several different colours of Glide thread on this one.  Dark blue on the black really shows off the quilting.  The quilt is currently at Katja's for those of you who live nearby and would like to see it.

It is currently -20 C. here in Kamloops, great weather for staying in and quilting.  Hope you are staying warm where you are.

  2. Great quilts. I really like the pear quilt, which is strange, since I don't like pears.
