For the last year I have had a lovely young lady working with me as my mentee. She was studying to be a nurse and wanted to gain some practical experience in a care giving role. With guidance from myself and my colleagues as well as her own hard work and studies, she has become a very confidant and qualified Enrolled Nurse.
When she decided it was time to leave me behind and move on in her career I gifted this quilt to her.
It has purple in it, so I knew I was on to a winner.
Although she is moving on with her life, she has remained working within the same organisation, so I see her often. Last night during a very brief encounter in the carpark I gifted my latest make to her.
A pendibule.
Purple again of course. I used a variegated DMC thread.
It was surprisingly quick to stitch and make up.
Even with all of those tiny beads along the edge.
It was fun to make and I plan to make at least one more.
Although I can find dozens of pattern ideas for pendibules I can't seem to find a definition.
Using what I know of European languages I'm going to go with hanging ornament.
Here it is Jorja, your moment of fame on my wee blog and my opportunity to say that I have missed working with you and wish you every happiness in what I hope will be a long career. You are a very caring young lady and I'm sure you'll be a great nurse.

Now I'm off to do housework, before I sit n stitch on the Spitfire.

That’s very thoughtful of you Lou. You have been busy with your cross stitching. The ornament is very cute.
Gorgeous pendible. Love it in purple.
What a lovely gesture, Lu....and I think your definition is right, pendant means to hang.
