Missing the Kitsap Peninsula
It is very easy to do. I just wish it had the Kitsap Peninsula and some of the bigger islands. I live on the Peninsula. I wanted to make it for my grandchildren, that live in Kansas, to show them where grandma and grandpa live.

Beautiful results
This was my first time working with wool blend yarn and once I got used to it I found it was not difficult to work with at all. The finished picture is beautiful. The wool colors have a depth and richness that cotton floss doesn’t have. I’m very pleased with the results.

Great Project
I did have to take the pattern to UPS and have them enlarged it which made it alot easier to see. And that is with my up close glasses. Other than that I am enjoying the project.

Rose Tree in Bloom
Like all Teresa Wentzler patterns, Rose Tree in Bloom is intricate, complicated, detailed--definitely not a "weekend" project. They always require dedication, concentration, and patience. BUT, when you have taken the last stitch and have taken the fabric off the frame, you have a masterpiece of which you can be justifiably very proud. Whether you give this as a gift or keep it for yourself, you have created something that is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Oh What Fun "Uninvited Guess"
I feel in love with this pattern and couldn't wait to get started. It took me 7 months. The hardest part of this patterns was the colors, I got really tired of blacks and blues. But the finished picture meet and exceeded my expectations.

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

Beautiful!
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.

Lovely design
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!

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

Difficult Symbols
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.

Size
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

Not enough beads to finish so I am buying what I need at a craft store
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.

Colored Pattern Stitch Chart Difficult to See
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!

Not enough thread
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.

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