To me, pears represent the start of spring and summer. When I was young, we used to go to the market by the river to get fresh produce from the islands. I loved to stand by the docks and watch the men download crate after crate of fresh fruits and vegetables. The pears were the best.

This quilt was chosen as one of the 13 winners in the Quilting Arts Calendar Challenge 2010 - Theme: Fresh Picked – Month of January
