Wedding Sampler: Teresa Wentzler

Post by Raven »

I have started Teresa Wentzler's Wedding Sampler. I will be doing it as an Anniversary Sampler for my parent's 50th Anniversary. It is being stitched with DMC cotton and Rayon flosses, on 28ct jobelen called Painted Champagne Cocktail by Enchanted Fabrics.

Here is what it will look like finished (though the words will be different):

And here is what I have done so far:

Not a lot of progress, but it is at least started. I hope to stitch on this at least 2 hours a day, pain level permitting.

I'm a huge TW fan and will watch with interest as I got the book of samplers for Christmas.
I think it will suit your parents and their Golden wedding very well indeed.
I hope your pain stays away and then you can crack on.

That's a lovely design but the stitching looks quite dense -- lots of work!

Great start, will look forward to seeing it appear :D

Thank you everyone :)

I had to frog a bit. I miscounted the center of the bit at the top of the column and had to restitch it. So I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but here's the update from today's stitching:

Midge,

Before starting any of the patterns in the best of book, check out the errata page on the TW Design Works web site, as well as the posting board. Sadly when the best of book was printed, they left out a stitch diagram, some backstitch instructions and messed up some of the colors for this chart. Between the bulletin board and the errata page on TW's site, I have a list of corrections and the missing instructions.

Just thought you would want to know. :)

Thanks for that Raven, I will go and take a look and see if I can find the corrections.
The first one I'm going to do is the English garden sampler, it has peacocks in it too which are a favorite of mine.
I'm very grateful for the info.

You are most welcome. I have all the corrections for the Wedding Sampler in a word document, I can send them along if you like.

I was thinking "Love Is Forever...50th Anniversary" then "Lee and Tony" "year of wedding..year of 50th" on 4 lines. But I'm not sure yet. LOL
