Serendipitous Jo's January Partridge in a Pear Tree

This year I am going to be stitching Joan Elliott's 12 Days of Christmas each month.  I started it on 12th December 2016 and completed one of the Herald Angels for December's theme.

I also stitched on it every day for the 12 Days of Christmas as part of a Challenge on the Stitch Maynia FB page.  Since then I have been focused on finishing the Partridge for this month.  I did have a little break to fit in my Hallowe'en stitching though.

Here is the Partridge in his Pear Tree, minus his beads which will be added at the end:


And here is the whole piece so far:


The plan is to stitch the borders each evening when my son is in the bath and return to Block 2 in February.  You can see where I stitched each block for a decreasing number of days for the challenge!  Block 12 only got stitched on the final 12th Day whereas Block 2 got stitched on every day from the 2nd onwards.

That's a terrific looking partridge. You've given us a 'tease' for the rest of the days, so it will be fun to see them finished.
