Strawberries And Cream

A high-heeled shoe drawn entirely from strawberries, leaves and blossom: the toe is a red-and-cream checked fruit, while the heel rises as a slender flowering stem. It belongs to Sally King's Shoe Art range, a good choice for anyone who enjoys illustrative designs with plenty of greens and reds to shade.

The piece is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, with backstitch added at the end to outline fruit and stems. The threads are pre-sorted by colour and included, so you only need to add a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors. Once finished, it looks well framed; the frame is not supplied.
