A better pear

 OMGoodness.  Katherine from @trinkity mentioned me in a post which led me to her.  I adore how she has stitched and constructed my pear!  AUGH!!!  I gave all of mine away except for the July and December pears and don't want to deconstruct and reconstruct those two.  They certainly don't require a lot of time to stitch and I plan to choose a few favorites for a second time.  Definitely Swan Song and Katherine's choice also.  

They are constructed of three panels (two fabric panels and the stitchery), similar to Nan's (which I also adore but haven't ordered yet).  I don't believe I am ready to sit at the sewing machine, still have patience and short fuse issues left over from the last year.  Unless it's a straight seam or hem or repair, my old metal Kenmore should keep its distance.  But the stitchery can be finished and in the pile.

She also has a floss tube that features some lovely sampler projects, and I still don't understand why that bell has to be clicked in addition to subscribe to follow anyone.  But that's me.  

I want to post these on my IG page, maybe tomorrow.  Was hoping to do a different St. Pat's day pear, I dislike that design.  A lot.  But Carole's ordeal started last year at this time, March 1 to be exact, and I was dealing with my misdiagnosis prior to that.  And this year?  Lazy.

The sawtooth border is coming along slower than I expected, and it looks fabulous.

Have a pleasant day.
