A wool needlepoint throw pillow: the Winter Partridge design. It is the same tent stitch used for canvas work that gets passed down a generation at a time.
For the window seat that faces the feeder. Needlepoint reads fine and smooth, so it balances a chunkier hooked or woven piece.
The gray partridge stands under a branch with one pear and green leaves, holly and berries at his feet, gold stars scattered across the cream ground. Golden cord wraps the edge. Quiet and traditional, the kind that can stay out all season.

The canvas is covered stitch by stitch in wool, which is what gives a needlepoint piece its fine detail and its firm, even hand. 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. Makes a good gift for birdwatchers and window-feeder regulars.
