Nancy Born displays her retirement gift
from Geraldine Warner.

Readers who enjoy editor Geraldine Warner’s in-depth reports have a new reason to appreciate her talents.

When she’s not covering the tree-fruit industry, Geraldine is also an award-winning quilter. Last month, Geraldine created a Good Fruit Grower wall hanging, featuring a magazine cover with a pear, as a gift to Nancy Born.

The quilt is made of hand-dyed and recycled pure silk fabrics.

When all of us saw the quilt at Nancy’s retirement party, we immediately recognized the best cover candidate for the issue in your hands focused on pears.

I’d call this a fine gift and a “pearfect” cover.
