and so the love of pears continues into the sewing room , Heather Bailey has a pattern called Fresh Picked , which among other things includes a pattern for a pear pincushion.I have made a few of these pear pincushions lately and figured that maybe you would like one to have in your sewing room.
Made from Linen and Raspberry Toile it also has a small pear shaped needle case to keep it company.
If you would like to be included in the draw please leave me a comment , you may even have some pear stories to share.I will keep this open until Saturday 25th July (Christmas in July) for us here in the Southern Hemisphere, with some luck who knows we may even have some snow :-).
Until next time
Happy Sewing

I love the pear pincushion and needle keeper. They are both gorgeous. I love the fabric you chose. What a great giveaway!!
These are just so beautiful. Who knew a pear could look so adorable.
These are lovely and I could really use a nice pin cushion. I have an old hard one that just doesn't make me happy --- but it works so I use it.

Those rich red leaves are just gorgeous. I just love your colour combinations. I would be honoured to own one of your pear pincushions and I needlecases - well I have a thing for them.
Cheers

just gorgeous!

Love the pear pin cushion, have been going to purchase the pattern for a while but trying to finish up some ufo's!! My favourite colours too and I really like eating pears as well... Would love the chance to win your lovely giveaway.
Everything you make is so beautiful, I won't go in the draw since I already have been blessed with one of your pears.
I love pear shapes, too. But there are so many fruits and vegetables that I find appealing in terms of color, shape, and design. For example, artichokes, cherries, berries, lemons and limes, etc. The linen and raspberry fabric looks great in these adorable sewing accessories!
oh how I would love to win your pear and needle keeper they are BEAUTIFUL.
Pear story...sorry I dont' have a creative one, but can tell you they are always in our fruit bowl we love them
yours would sit on my sewing table for me to enjoy looking at every day and NO I won't stick her with pins :)
Kathie
Oooh YUMMY!!! almost good enough to eat LOL! I would love to win!
Ohhh I love pears....If you take a look at my blog not long ago I posted about my doll called Pippa and she has a big pear....I would love to win your pair of pears....hugs Khris
You have taken such a mundane fruit and made it beautiful. Please
consider me for the giveaway
What a great pincushion and needlekeeper you have made. I love the pears pattern and I think the apple one which is available is great also. Be delicious to fill a big clear glass bowl with.
Love the "pear" of them...hehe. Really cute pincushion & needle book. Beautiful fabrics
I love these, thanks for the giveaway
Count me in, please. I decorate with pears all over my house...a bowl of pears on my kitchen island, a trencher full of primitive pears in my living room and of course the real eating kind in my refrigerator!
I'd love to add your to my collection.
This pincushion is so adorable!
Thanks a lot for sharing ^^
So adorable! I think you are adorable too for giving them away!!
Those are beautiful and the fabric is yummy, LOL. I have the perfect place for them beside my sewing chair where I do tons of handwork(wishful thinking). This is a very generous giveaway. Thank you for doing this.
I've peeked at your blog many times and Quiltsalott sent me. When I saw the word "pear" I rushed over. GORGEOUS!!! I, too, have a thing for pears. No great story...but I did just design a bag (pattern in the works) called Prickly Pear.
What a beautiful pincushion! I love that raspberry toile fabric! Much cooler than my run of the mill tomato pincushion!
I hope it doesn't snow but I would love to win your pear
I always love the combination of fabrics that you choose. The linen and toile always look sensational.
I wonder why it is always so
difficult to purchase toiles.
well done. Lesley
Jean, your choice of linen and
raspberry toile as usual looks
sensational. I wonder why there is not more toile fabric produced.
well done. Lesley
Jean, your fabric combinations are always spot on, just love linen and raspberry together, perfect combination.
I wonder why there is not more toile fabric produced. Well done
Lesley
I would love to be entered in your giveaway. Maybe I have a thing for pears because I'm pear shaped...lol...very nice pincushion and needlekeep.
Count me in!
My aunt and uncle have owned pear ranches in Ukiah California for years and years. I remember going there during the summers and coming home with boxes of pears that made our car smell so wonderful. I used to bottle pears when my family was young, but when we moved to Southern Utah I gave away all my equipment.
What lovely fabric...I would LOVE to be included for your giveaway, I really do need a needle holder also!! Sorry, no pear stories.
It's fun to have something to focus on when collecting fabric and such.
Janet sent me to see your pears. I hope I can enter your giveaway. I have seen lots of pears made up and they are always so great. I just got a tutorial off the internet for applique pears on dishtowels. Really cute.
I'm so excited to have discovered your totally delectable blog! I'd love to win this scrumptious pear pincushion and needlecase.
Hi. Your pear pincushions and needle keeper are great. I would love to be the luckey owner of one ofthem. Hugs from Noeway.
What a beautiful pear,it looks too nice to put pins into!!! The needlecase is lovely. I love Pear and Ginger Jam. Happy days.
Your pear creations are very pretty. I would love to be included in your giveaway.
I have a burro (from the Grand Canyon) and a paint horse who both love to come in my back yard. It's the pear tree! My dh either picks pears for them or shakes the tree for the uppermost pears to let loose for the animals. We seldom eat the pears (although we love them ourselves) as we love to spoil our furry kids with them. We can always go to a produce stand and buy more...the animals can't. That's my pear story, hugs from Elaine in Texas. http://soggybottomflats.blogspot.com/
Your pears are so beautiful, we love pears too, but for eating mostly. I would love to have your set of pears, for my sewing of course. I love the toile fabric, very beautiful on your pears.
I would like to be in your draw! I don't have a pear story to share but have admired pear pincushions in photos and would love to have one.
Your pears are wonderful. I would feel so lucky if I won one.
Wow! I would find it so hard to give these away if they were mine...but I would love to be the recipient of them. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen the pattern and love the idea of a pear pincushion! Yours are darling and toile is one of my favorite patterns!
I have a limited edition print of a pear sitting in my sewing room. I love the shape and the colors of it. I promise to get it matted and framed immediately if I am the lucky winner! Mary Beth at mblarosa@cox.net
Your pear pincushion and needle keep are lovely. I love pears too! This is a lovely give away. Good luck everyone.
I just LOVE the way the leaves are wrapped around the stem. So pear-like!

I didn't realise so many of us were into pears. I have a couple, one in particular was given to me by a very special friend and this gorgeous blue ceramic pear with a silver leaf resides on my kitchen windowsill where I see it when I am working.Friends are special people aren't they? I havent got one sitting at my sewing table though and this lovely raspberry and linen one would be gorgeous. Thank you for giving us a chance to win it. I love the linen you use.

That is so cute. We love to dehydrate pears when they are in season with the idea that we will have them all year to nibble on. The truth be known, they really only last a few months because we just can't leave them alone and we have to wait then for the next peat season. Williams and Burri Bosc are my favourite varieties.
Blessings Gail
Linen and toile seems to be such a classy combination for the pear pin cushion and needle case. You do such a nice job making them and they would look great on my sewing table.
I'd love to take part in your giveaway....I would be very proud to display your lovely work on my sewing table....Love the colours you have chosen....
Nice pears!! Love the needlecase to go with the pincushion....great idea! would love to be in the running for your giveaway...and have enjoyed visiting your blog...!
They are just so cute. The winner will be very happy.
I have just read all the pear stories, please don't include me in the draw either because I was so lucky to receive one of your luscious pears as a prezzie! A chance to tell you how happy I am once again.
Oh yes, home grown and bottled pears straight off the pantry shelf and served with icecream and custard. But then theres Poached Pears in Saffron.......I would love one of these unique pincushions
Ah, pears are my favorite fruit. I sub them for apples in desserts. But your pears are perfect! Love them.
These are so cute and your fabrics are beautiful. I would love to win.
Thanks for offering such a nice giveaway. I just found your blog today and I am really enjoying it.
I would love to win your darling pear cushion. What a beautiful color and fabric choice. Thanks for a chance to win.
The pear and pincushion look great! Wonderful idea for a giveaway!!!
Please count me in! What a gorgeous pincushion. I love pears but it is the one and only food my husband dislikes , needless to say I don't have them as often as I'd like! Nothing nicer than a pear and chocolate tart though!!
really nice pin cushion and needle case!
a pear story:
i remember one day when i was a kid picking pears for our mom to preserve...
it was a warm but rainy day.... and we picked pears in the pouring rain in shorts, t-shirts and splashed around with bare feet...
for me, it's a great kid memory!!
i'd LOVE a pear pin cushion!!

Lovely pears... I am a big fan of anything toile and res especially. Please count me in!
The colours you have used in these pears is glorious - the red reminds me of the comice or red Bartlett variety.
Bye

This is just so darn cute and so fun I love the pair of pears!

What a gorgeous pair, pardo the pun! I too love pears and I have that pattern, couldn't resist it but I keep forgetting to buy the felt.
I love pears. Beautiful fabric choice! I can't resist raspberry coloured fabric!!
I confess that I covet this pear, and would love to win it. Sweet giveaway!!!
I also have collected pears for many years - but just paintings and china. They are just a beautiful shape!
What a sweet pincushion. I love pears they are one of my favorite fruits. I can them every year to eat all winter long!
I would love to be included in your pear giveaway, I have had the pleasure of seeing the devine pear Liz from broderie received. I want one too........
Love the pear pincushion, and love toile fabrics too. So I give it a try.
These are beautiful! If you love pears, you might like our website, www.usapears.org and our blog, http://blog.usapears.org/!

I just loved you pears, - oh how I would love to have pears like that in the livingroom in the weekendhome and fruit farm in Norway!
Through a long, circuitous series of links, I found your blog and am visiting for the first time. May I still enter your giveaway? I love the "pairing" of linen and toile and would be thrilled to win these classic needlework accessories!
Such a stunning combination. Please enter me in your drawing. You are so generous!

I love the pear motif. My children have made me assorted "pear" items and I cherish them. Thanks for doing a giveaway. They are such fun.
Its nice to see something finished sis!!
I am a great lover of pears too - especially the giant beurre bosc ones at the moment - juicy, nutty, and so good for you! Your sewing is just lovely and would feel very welcome in my home.
LoVE LovE loVe the pear pincushion and needle keeper.
Beautiful colours.
I too am in love with pears...it started in my kitchen - pear wall paper and a wall of pear stitchery and artwork...grew into a collection of pears - wooden, ceramic, etc. and has slowly infiltrated into other areas of the home...was in a class last weekend and coveted someone's pear scissor fob! Love them!
Oh my goodness, what do I see?
A gorgeous pear, perhaps for me?
A sweet little keeper of pins and things,
And from the maker, the love it brings!
I would love to have one of your beautiful pears by my side whilst i am sewing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a beautiful glass pear which I love and I cook with pears Sooooooooo much
Carolyn
Just found your blog and I have really enjoyed it. I like the pears, I have and antique gold velvet one that I've had for years. It would be nice to get an updated one. I hope I'm not to late!
Hi Jean, I just found your blog and must say that your work is just lovely.
I love the pears...have been wanting to make one for years. I've got a pattern of one with embroidery on it. You've motivated me to drag it out.
Many Blessings
