Good Morning, Quilters!
Bosc, Bartlett, Anjou…What’s YOUR favorite pear?
We’ve stitched several variations of apples–
and ‘A’ is for Apple
But the fall fruit bowl wouldn’t seem right without a pear or two.
THE PERFECT PEAR-A FREE MOTION QUILT TUTORIAL
Begin by drawing a rectangle. In the sample shown here, the rectangle is 2-1/2 inches by 3 inches.
Begin stitching along the bottom line. Stitch a wavy line to the center of the bottom line. Then stitch a shallow “C”.
Stitch the neck of the pear and swirl in on the top.
Add a short stem and a simple leaf.
Stitch the neck of the pear.
Stitch the right side of the pear, curling in to the center of the pear.
Echo stitch the curl and stitch under the pear to begin the next motif in the row.
The Perfect Pear!
Wouldn’t this motif be adorable on a table runner or kitchen towel!?
Or on the border of a fall quilt?
What about YOU?
Remember–Doodle First!
Happy Five-a-Day!
