I love all types of Spiders
and their webs...
I like to add them to my hand embroidery
and also to my labels on the back
of finished pieces.

Spider Web Embroidery Stitch...
Step 1 - Thread a needle with 3 strands
of Embroidery Floss or one strand of
Perle Cotton. Knot end.
Step 2 - Stitch a cross stitch.
Step 3 - Add 2 additional 'spokes'.
Step 4 - Bring needle up from bottom of fabric,
close to center of spokes. Cross over center
of spokes and take needle through fabric
to back, making a tiny stitch,
to secure center of spokes.
This is the center point of your Spider Web.
Step 5 - Bring needle up from bottom of fabric
between 2 spokes, close to center.
You will now begin to 'weave' the web,
only working on the surface of your cloth.
Step 6 - Slide the needle under the spoke prior to
and under the next spoke. Pull thread snugly
but gently to surround the first spoke.
Step 7 - Continue in this fashion,
pressing the 'web' towards center.
Step 8 - Continue around spokes,
only working on the surface. When the spokes
are full, take needle to back of fabric at the
end of the spoke and knot.
Step 9 - You can add French Knots around
the Spider Web to embellish...
You can also add
additional stitches and beads.
This also makes a beautiful Snowflake
when stitched in white floss and embellished
with crystals or glass beads.

Enjoy this beautiful August weekend...

Gosh I wish I lived closer, I would love to sit and stitch with you. Your french knots are just amazing. I never can get my french knots to look like that. Then your spiders are so much fun. I like how you added the beading too.
ReplyDeleteYou do such beautiful work.
I like your spiders LOTS more than the ones at my house! LOL Beautiful stitching Rose!

ReplyDeleteThey are too sweet:) Love 'em all. I always have at least one in my crazy quilts, but more honestly, it's usually several. And I agree with Farm Girl - a sit and stitch would be a hoot.
ReplyDelete(Sorry had a typo.)
What a neat stitch. I've never seen that one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs :)
