Thorn stitch in yellow over variegated pearl cotton:
Three rows of Chevron stitch with beads. The black long stitches help hold the Chevron stitches in place. They were too loose for me!

A nice range of stitches. Those last ones look creepy and do a realy good job of tying the pumpkin and spider images together, and the beads remind me of red back spiders - EEEeeeeEEK!
It's amazing how simple seams and embroidery stitches can look so pretty with the addition of beads and sequins. Your crazy patchwork is looking amazing, Laura.
This really looks like a lot of work, and it is beautiful.
Laura, I absolutely love your seams. Beautiful work. I have to say, the clusters of spiderwebs in that last photo is fabulous! (I'm not a big fan of real spiders, but LOVE embroidered ones.) And the fibers you couched for your wisteria are perfect.
Lovely stitching. I particularly like the purple seam with the double-holed beads in the 4th picture and the multitude of small webs in your tree in the last picture. I don't think I've seen double-holed beads before, but I like the look of them. Something new to find!
