Strawberry Daiquiri

A bar recipe chalked onto a blackboard: the black fabric stays on show and makes the pale lettering, the red glasses and the slices of lime stand out. The silver star sequins, included in the kit, add a few points of sparkle. A good subject for a kitchen, a home bar or a gift for someone who enjoys cocktails.

Alongside the cross stitch there is back stitch for the outlines and a handful of French knots, so it suits stitchers who already have a project or two behind them. Frame and hoop are not included: the tall format works well in a narrow frame, even without a mount.
