It's a mitten

I'm going to make these for the children we are gifting to. I'm going to put a small candy cane in each one. I designed this pattern and this is my first try at it, so I'm going to make a few adjustments to the next one!

More partridges!

Here are three more....

First full sized partridge

Here is my first full sized partridge ornament that I gave away today as a gift. You can't see the feather too well in this picture, but it is there.



I finished a second one today...I will take a picture and post that when I have a stack finished.

And a partridge in a Pear tree.....

Here is my first attempt at a new pear pattern!



And here are the fabrics that I'm going to use to make more pears....

A pear

I'm going to attempt a new pear pattern and see if I can get a good looking pear to go with the partridges! I have blanket stitched the wings onto 12 partridges so far, just 6 more to go before I have to cut out more! The 18 partridges will finish into 9 partridges.....they are the same on both sides. After I'm done blanket stitching the wings I will add a flower, a button, and maybe a leaf to each wing tip, and a feather on top before stitching the partridge together. Hopefully I will have some completed projects to share with you soon!

My current project

I have decided to go with the larger Partridge pattern instead of the baby one. So here the start of 9 more Partridge ornaments. I believe I need to make 15 total and then 15 pears to go with it. It is much more time consuming then I would have thought, but they are too cute not to make. Hope my family enjoys them!

And a partridge in a pear tree

Started and finished this tonight. I also have a pear pattern that I'm going to try out. I'm going to give the ornament pair as a Christmas gift.
