Product Reviews:See what folks are saying!

I like this design very much. All of Theresa Wenzler's designs are beautiful, especially the Victorian ones. This will be delightful to stitch.

This project was quite the challenge but it has such beautiful colors and was actually fun to do. Took me almost 10 months to complete (working about 2-3 hours/day) but is so worth it! A real prize winner.

I just finished this piece and loved how it came out. First time I used beads in a cross stitch piece. Lots of blending of floss colors and stitched over 2 threads. The even weave made it difficult to keep stitch counts with the inconsistency of thread width. Now to frame it!

The only hard part is that the chart is in multiple pages

I made this for my nephew and his new bride. Directions were clear and it was easier than I thought it would be. They loved it

I love the details in Teresa Wentzler designs. This isn't my first Wentzler and I hope it won't be my last.

Everything is excellent ??

I thought this would be easy, however, the symbols for the various colors are very similar making it difficult to follow. There are only five colors, so why not five totally different symbols? Some of the color symbols are just turned a different direction! It can be very confusing.

finished size is 14 & 1/8 inches...top stitch to bottom stitch (not much leftover fabric). Making it much more difficult to frame will probably have to custom frame OR do another stitching Have never had this happen with any other pattern! Disappointing

I love being able to change the colors for the person I give them to,

Easy to do, with bright colors. I did mine on white aida.

I am now looking at the beads for finishing the piece. The pattern calls for 4 blue beads and I only have 2 in a case. I am going to Michael's tomorrow to see if I can match the beads. If not I will try a different approach. This is gift for my future daughter-in-law.

I disliked that there was no black and white pattern stitch chart. The color symbols on the dark colors are very difficult to see! But, I do love the pattern for my dragon loving grandson!

This is a very pretty pattern. The thread however, ran short on several colors. I had to improvise to get the project done. It looks okay but it would have been better if I'd had enough thread to have finished the way it should be. And believe me I was a little stingy with all of the thread. So if you order this, just be aware that you will probably run out of thread on several different colors.

It's hard to read the letters. Too much detail.

My granddaughter loves nutcrackers. I did this for her. Stitched up quickly. The colored chart was so easy to read. This was a joy to complete.

Enjoyed stitching this little reminder of London. Chart says DMC 820, but I forgot to ask for the materials to be listed so I ordered CC 273 London Fog (who could resist?) and CC 173 Plymouth Rock. The chart uses a bit more than 7 yards of 6 ply at two threads, so one skein of DMC would be enough. The clock hands are a scrap of GAST 0450 Cornhusk. I don't like that 4 typefaces are used in the words, but I left it as is. Soaking it now to remove the grid, with a color catcher for the non colorfast CCC (prewashed, but may still run).

This project was fairly easy to do. I added some other metallic threads to enhance the picture the beads are a great touch. I worked mine on a linen material which was thin, using regular Aida cloth would make it easier and a sturdier finished piece. This is a gift for a friend, I have purchased another of the mermaids and look forward to doing that one to keep!

This is a lovely finished piece and fun to stitch. The backstitching is brutally difficult, especially around the flowers! Also there are a LOT of half cross stitches. I still don't know what the objects are that are lying on the beach -- rowboats? overturned boats? One skein isn't sufficient on several of the colors, but that isn't indicated on the thread list. All in all, recommended.

This chart is absolutely stunning once done. I have completed two, one for my daughter and one for my niece. You have to research your ancestors before you start, chart the dates and names and then get stitching. The extra work and time you put into this is fun and it’s exciting researching your ancestors then seeing all you’re female ancestors lovingly cross stitched to admire for generations to com. I left cloth at the bottom, folded on the back for future generations. Giving the recipient floss and alphabet chart in order that they may add names if needed.
