I realized that I haven't shared these juicy little fruits with you. My friend (and hairstylist) Erica gave me these great old cutter quilts a couple of years ago. I have hoarded them, waiting for the perfect project to come along, and it finally did. One quilt was in such bad condition that I could only save tiny scraps, but the other was full of great Dresden Plates.
My mom has a great collection of antique quilts, old linens, and weathered furniture. I thought some of Heather Bailey's Fresh Picked fruit would be gorgeous made out of an old quilt. I made the pear for my mom for her birthday. I added buttons on the felt leaves and hand-stamped the date on a sterling tag and stitched it onto a linen leaf.
