A visit to the
Flickr TAST-group helped me solve the last problem on
my 10 x 10 inch crazy block. I saw these lovely
slipped detached chain palm trees and I thought that one of them looked like a fat dragonfly. Then I knew I could use
this stitch to make a spider! It was too late to stitch him, so I made a simple drawing.
Today I embroidered the spider on his web. I used a blue/purple variegated chenille thread for the detached chain stitch body. His head is a French knot with a single wrap. Then I added two straight stitches inside the detached chain stitch. For the legs I used a blue perle 5.
My block told me it’s finished, but I have to get used to this idea! So I will put it aside for a few days before I can say it’s finished!

That's a marvelous spider! And a perfect colour against the orange background.
