FREE SRE DESIGN - Spider Web Combinations

Here are some simple combinations for this simple stitch.
For further direction view the posting on Spider Web Roses

 
Stitches Used: Spider Web Rose, Stem Stitch, Lazy Daisy Stitch, French Knots,
Ribbon Stitch, Straight Stitch, Detached Chain Stitch.

Ribbons: Spider Web Roses – Two Tone 4 mm. Pale Pink & Pink Ribbon
Rose Leaves – Green Ribbon – 4 mm.
French Knot Flowers -- DMC Rayon Floss Lilac and Cream 
Stem & Leaf - Stem Stitch – DMC Thread Green
Straight Stitch at Rosebud Tip – DMC Thread 
( Or Threads of your choice )

The Rosebuds are worked in Detached Chain Stitch, with three small ribbon stitches in
green ribbon for the Sepals. Thread Crewel Needle with Pink Embroidery Thread and
make 2 small straight stitches at the top of the bud.














French Knot Flowers:  2 Strands of Lilac and 3 wraps. 
Centre:  2  Strands of Cream and 3 wraps make the centre.
Next stem stitch the vines to make the circle ---
Lazy Daisy leaves in Thread at each French Knot Flower.

Do the Spider Web Rose last 
( this avoids getting the threaded
needle caught on the exposed Spider Web Ribbon )

Finally complete by doing Rose Leaves in Ribbon Stitch, coming 
from under the rose.

Spider Web Rose is a very quick stitch and can be varied by changing the
combinations around it. Suitable for delicate work such as accessories for
the bride, lingerie, baby's clothes, and any item of a delicate nature.
