Unicorn

Dreamscape Leaflet #96
Teresa Wentzler, Designer

I stitched this for myself in 1992. It took me two years, off and on, to finish it. It was stitched on 25 count black Lugana.

Apple Basket

Just Cross Stitch, October, 1992
Actual Title and Designer Unknown

I stitched this for myself in 1992 for no better reason than I like apples. The piece was stitched on 25 count cream Lugana.

I do apologize for the quality of the image. I took it while I was still trying to figure out how to use a very cheap digital camera I got as a promotional item.

Strawberries

Just Cross Stitch, April, 1990
Actual Title and Designer Unknown

The piece was stitched on 18 count cream Aida. I stitched this for a friend in 1991. It was meant to be her Christmas gift. She never received it. She committed suicide before it was done.

The Castle

Dreamscape Leaflet #5
Teresa Wentzler, Designer

I stitched this for myself in 1990. This was the first project I ever stitched. It was stitched on 14 count white Aida. If I knew then what I know now, I would not have stitched it on Aida. I would have used an evenweave like Lugana.
