Hi,

My name is Sylvie and I'm a french stitcher. I live in Versailles, not far from Paris. I 've never stitched any design from Teresa but love many of them! I found they were difficult projects but now I think that I'm ready to start one of them! I especially like Tradewinds but the pattern is really difficult to find. I'm looking every day at ebay and hope one day I'll have the chance to find it!
I'll come very often on the board to look at all your...

Jumping back in after an absence

Hi all!

I've been away from stitching for a couple years, but have felt the bug and am getting back into it (and my love of the glorious insanity that are TW patterns!). My name's Melissa (I go by Mel or Measi usually since there are a bunch of Melissa's around). I'm in my mid-30's and have been stitching since age 10. DH and I live in Rhode Island and we're owned by 6 cats.

Looking forward to being active and joining you all in some stitching!...

Anyone still around from the TWBB early days?

Theresa Swanson, Luckymomof7, has finished her last cross stitch. She had a heart attack on Monday and has been declared brain dead. She was only 49 years old. She was an incredible stitcher and loved Teresa's patterns best. I know she shared photos of her work here. I have no talent, but love Teresa's art and purchased one of her drawings. Theresa was my identical twin sister and I shall miss her all the days of my life.

Hi all! I found myself here via the Mirabilia board. I'm currently working on a Mirabilia but have got a kit of the Peacock Tapestry, plus two charts - The Fortunate Traveller and Diamonds In Squares.

I haven't started any of them yet!!! but I'm not working at the moment so I should get going and make the best of this time (as I don't know how long I'm going to be workless for).

I'm widowed (youngish) with a dog and two cats, but despite them and...

Hello everyone. Need help already!!!

feeds@yuku.com (Ludream) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:51:33 GMT

Hi everyone! I've been a huge fan of TW since completeing my first design of her's too many years ago to remember. I've finally find time to begin Millenium ( Iknow I'm nearly 10 years late but it's still such a beautiful design) but to my horror I've discovered that my pack has no colour key. Does anyone have a copy that they could email me as I'm frantic!!!!!!

Hope someone can help.

Many thanks and well done to all the beautiful projects...

Hello! I am Alessandra and I have been stitching for a long time...almost twenty years now...I have just recently discovered TW's designs and I just love them...as many of you, I have always been afraid of making the jump from aida to other fabrics and when I bought one of her patterns and read that it could not be stitched on aida I thought...what the heck! so I have decided to be courageous and I have already bought half a metre of cashel linen to begin! wish me luck!...and i'll be...

Hi everybody,

I'm coming back here after some years of absence.
I'm from France and I love Teresa designs, even if they are very hard to find here.
I have one big UFO : Peacock tapestry that I plan to take back on hoop soon, and I just began Noah Arch. It supposes to be a present for my futur nephew. Hope I will have enough time !

Hello, I'm stitching The Castle

feeds@yuku.com (TabLVT) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 21:51:58 GMT

Hi there, everyone. I originally tried to join this group last week because I had a question about a mistake I found in The Castle, and wanted to ask the Teresa Wentzler experts here, but for some reason it wouldn't validate my account. I searched for a list of corrections for The Castle and couldn't find anything except this site but there was nothing listed for the problem I found, so I improvised... ;)...

Old Stitcher Returns :)

feeds@yuku.com (Sherrin) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:44:36 GMT

I haven't been around for a year or more. But I was here from almost the beginning of the TWBB. (OOOO, that makes me OLD!). I dropped out of stitching and a lot of life for a long while, but back again. I live in Northern California and work full time as well as being a mom, wife, daughter, and friend. I have so missed my stitching and just started back on a TW design that I had begun a few years back. Feels good to put thread to fabric once again.

Hello from New Zealand

feeds@yuku.com (NZcat) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:39:46 GMT

Hi I have been lurking around these boards for many years…and I was wondering just as I do, if there was a chance that there were any other stitchers from the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand that come here. Would love to get to know you if there are. My profile...

Wonderful to meet you!

feeds@yuku.com (Alice LMJT) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:25:38 GMT

Hi, my name is Alice. I just moved to Virginia this summer, for the second time. Our family was living in the Middle East for two years and it is nice to be back! I am among other things, a cross stitch addict, and can't seem to get enough of it! I am currently working on a TW carousel horse (Spring) and will be doing the other three for my daughter as well... maybe even before she leaves for college! I stitched The Castle a few years ago for my son and had a hard time giving it up when...

Hi, I'm new, too

feeds@yuku.com (cforber) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:44:08 GMT

Hi, I started doing cross stitch again a couple of years ago, after a break of 15 years. Since then, I've done three TW designs and love her work. Finally got to meet her at the Fall Toronto CreativFestival on Saturday. Hi to the folks who were in her two classes on Saturday. I'm nearly 50, married, have two boys aged 15 and 18. I live in Mississauga, ON. By training, I'm a chemist (PhD in chemistry), but my current job (last 8 years) involves database and web programming. Both my...

Hi from a new member...

feeds@yuku.com (rachelsparkles) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:45:09 GMT

Hi everyone. Thought I would introduce myself on here.

I'm Rachel I live in the north east of england and I've been cross stitching for around 14 years now. Been looking at the TW designs and they are so lovely, I took a big step today by ordering Celestial Dragon and everything I need to complete it, hopefully I shall be able to start it very soon. I'm really looking forward to becoming part of this forum and getting to know you all.

Bye for now!

feeds@yuku.com (DragonOfShadow) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:12:25 GMT

Seems I'm on my 3rd User name here, and it's been quite awhile so I wanted to reintroduce myself. I'm Beverly from the Southcoast of Massachusetts. I've been stitching TWs since my first real XS in 1989 (the Unicorn). I've taken several life breaks from stitching as I'm not good at focusing on more than one hobby at a time. This last hiatus was a 3-year finishing of my Bachelor's degree.
