Description
The heavy globes of plum fruit are worked in a myriad of tiny French knots in several shades of purple and blue. The white flowers have detached petals and a fluffy centre of tufted stamens. Padded satin stitch creates a perfect lustrous surface for the honeysuckle flowers and a hovering bee echoes the rich orange colouring of the berries.
