First runner-up

Golden Pears and PlumsKate Wotton,

Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Kate’s inspiration:

I also used favourite china for my inspiration – a

tea set of my Grandmother’s decorated with gold and

green squares and finely painted pears and plums.

Jane says:

Kate’s coloured in entry as we liked the opulence of

her colour palette, but I have to admit that I wasn’t

convinced it would work – that was until I saw the

completed project! I love it and think it is going to

appeal to lots of crocheters.
