Well this is how it looks now! I'm about half way through quilting it.
I've painted the pears a little and used a couple of thermofaxes to add some detail.
I made a thermofax of a list of the varieties of pears that are grown in Tasmania and then, just for fun a drew a little pear with wings. I printed the thermofax twice. The first print in red and the second time I overprinted in white I think I really like the result.
I quilted leaves around these pears and then hand painted just a few.
I'd love to know what you think.

It looks great Sally! Can't wait to see the end result.
PS Will get that image to you as soon as I get it organized!
It is lovely
that kooks great sally - i love the pear with wings :)
I love the way the lettering shadows and also the way the birds extend out of the main images.
looks really good Sally.
I like the backgrounds and the writing is very effective.
The little 'flying pear' is cute, considering if anyone on the 'mainland' eats a Tasmanian pear there is a good chance it was airlifted out.
Would make a neat logo for a company.
Love your fruit Sally. The colours are fabulous. What a lovely piece, congratulations.
Your fruit quilt is looking lovely Sally! Beautiful pics of Tassie too.
Very nice Sally!!
