W is for ...

What other than 

Web!

The web is worked in 'Whipped Stem' 

There are many stitches that can be 'Whipped' it simply means wrapped with another thread in this case the web was worked in a simple black stem stitch then whipped with silver thread.

Little 'Webster' the spider was created from two different stitches

 a 'Woven Spiders Wheel' for the body 

and a 'Wheatear' stitch for the head.

V is for

Vase

in Vandyke stitch

A simple tag decoration this week as there was only one stitch but such a beautiful stitch to do, 

The vase shape was cut from pink silk and the stitch then worked over the top.

 I like the raised effect it creates, its very tactile.
I have been thinking a bit about what I might do with all my stitched tags. Kevin has suggested that I put them on a canvas and hang them in the dining room. When I started out on the little project it was my intention to make them into little book I'm still undecided, perhaps once they are complete and I see them all together it will all become clearer.
