** INTERMEDIATE **
Partridge in a Pear is an ideal project if you are familiar with the basics of raised embroidery and are looking for a small project that provides a little bit of a challenge.
The body of the partridge is embroidered as a separate piece, or slip, before being stitched in place over layers of felt padding. The slightly raised wing is created as a piece of needle-lace, then stitched in place over the top. The plump pear, ripe for the picking is also padded with felt and a simple wired leaf creates the final touch on this small piece of raised embroidery.
The detailed, fully illustrated instruction will help guide you step by step through the project however, you might find it helpful to have your stitch directory at hand - I always do.
