The spider web is shadow trapunto, white felt covered with a white batiste and a camouflage print tulle. I kid you not &#8211; camouflage! Found it in the bridal section at JoAnn&#8217;s &#8211; there&#8217;s something for everyone there.<\/p>\n<p>But the event that clenched the design was when I walked into a bead shop. Not just any bead shop but one that specializes in paper beads and the tools to make them\u00a0 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paperbeadgirl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Paper Bead Girl <\/a>in Havre de Grace, Maryland.

They are even 3-dimensional &#8211; copper wire is threaded through them to help them keep their shape! Now the spider itself was pretty labor intensive &#8211; used up a whole canister of #8 black hexi beads &#8211; there are 4 left not counting what I keep finding on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the border &#8211; a strand of light green seed beads goes all the way around the quilt and a fringe of glass leaves (also from the Paper Bead Girl) finishes off the bottom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erinunderwoodquilts.com\/weblog\/?attachment_id=1903\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1903\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1903\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erinunderwoodquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/spider-border-treatment-detail-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"spider border treatment detail\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I spent lots of hours sitting on the couch watching Netflix movies and beading and beading and beading some more.
