Three pearsPositioned perfectly for this pear portrait, stitching these ripe specimens against a green-shaded background will be an enjoyable treat.About PearsPears are native to coastal and mildly temperate regions, from western Europe and north Africa east right across Asia. They are medium-sized trees, often with a tall, narrow crown. Like that of the related apple, the pear fruit is a pome, in most wild species 1-4cm diameter, but in some cultivated forms up to 18 cm long and 8 cm broad; the shape varies in most species from oblate or globose, to the classic pyriform 'pear-shape' of the European Pear with an elongated basal portion and a bulbous end.Design based on 3 pears by Susan Murtaugh (CC BY-ND 2.0).Needlepoint by PepitaPepita Needlepoint printed needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced.
