CHART PACK:
A Partridge in a Pear Tree
CROSS STITCH PATTERN, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
This is a cross stitch version of the first and possibly most poetic verse of the traditional English Christmas carol, The 12 days of Christmas.
On the First day of Christmas my true love sent to me
a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Designer Lesley Teare does a superb job of illustrating the verse in stitches, with a bright and colorful design of the partridge and pear tree surrounded by a contrasting red frame.
There are some metallic highlights that add extra fun to this luminous piece. A few fractional stitches are used to better define some parts such as the bird's beak.
All Lesley Teare charts come with an extensive Cross stitch Guide detailing all stitches including fractional stitches.
