A wool needlepoint throw pillow with a Christmas tree: the Partridge in Tree design. The needlepoint is dense and even, with the slight stitch texture collectors look for.
Bird-lover decor that does not tip into novelty. It layers well with a hooked piece or plain velvet, and repeating one of its colors pulls a sofa together.
The pear tree is worked as a topiary, a speckled partridge in its branches with pears and white blossoms around him and a red bow at the base of the trunk. Black ground with gold specks behind. Formal without being stiff, which the black ground has a lot to do with.

Every square inch of the canvas is covered in wool, which is why a needlepoint piece holds its color and its shape for decades. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. A wonderful gift for anyone who keeps binoculars near the kitchen window.
