Pears

[debupnorth]

I'm expanding on my "12 Days of Christmas" theme for ornaments! Due to the cost and time required to make full sets of the 12 days (I have 5 full sets stitched), I had settled for doing just the 1st day (partridge in a pear tree) - for now at least. After stitching 18 partridges/pear trees, I came across some lovely pear charts. I already have 2 done, have 3 more in the to-do pile, and I'm looking for more nice ones to do. I know, I know, I'm a bit obsessed!

Anyway -- I came across a kit by Thea Gouverneur called "Pear Varieties" that would be perfect except for the price! Does anyone have the chart that I could buy, borrow, or trade for? Of course, I'm assuming it would be charted using DMC or Anchor thread numbers & not just unknown threads that come with the kit! You can see it here after scrolling down a bit:

Thank you for looking!

I think Thea Gouverneur kits usually just have their threads sorted by symbol, no brands or shade numbers are usually quoted. So it might be worth checking if this is the case before aquiring a second hand chart.

Hope you are lucky in your search.

Thanks for the info Paula, guess I'll have to order the kit. Maybe I can justify the expense by telling myself it's only $7.50 per pear pattern & it includes all the supplies!!
