As I was traveling home to St. John's, Newfoundland on December 4th, I needed something to stitch. This free pattern fitted the bill. However, it won't be finished this year. Hopefully soon. Time flies when you are having fun!! So far, all the 12 pear shapes are stitched. The stitching has been done on the tree stand but I'm not satisfied with it. I didn't trace the lines directly on the fabric but on tissue paper. This was pinned on and stitched. When I pulled the paper off, the stitches pulled a bit too. And I knew the difference - DUH!!! So I have decided to do a thin machine satin stitch over the hand stitching.
I love the nontraditional batik I've selected for the border. When it's done, I'll show it to you.
Have a very Happy New Year!

Looks like a fun 12 Days project! And gee thanks for the new addiction I'm going to have over that puzzle site!! Will have a go at that when I'm having my next sleepless night.
