Wentzler Wins Again!, July 9 2004

This review is from: The Best of Teresa Wentzler Christmas Collection (Perfect Paperback)
This collection of Wentzler counted cross stitch charts brings back some favorites including Angel Procession (on the cover). The book contains several wonderful charts (previously offered singly). If you are a Wentzler fan this is a "must have". The charts are easy to read and the color pictures of the completed pieces make you want to rush to your DMC and linen.

When I saw the author's "Father Christmas" pattern offered on another website I had to come to Amazon and see if they had a collection of Miss Wentzler's work. I wasn't disappointed and though Heaven only knows when I'll actually have time to work the pattern I at least have that and much more with this book. The colors and detail of the finished pieces are gorgeous and frankly I think any of them could stay on display year 'round; Father Christmas will grace our log cabin getaway. The patterns will take time to work as they are quite detailed but I feel that if you're going to take the time to make a quality heirloom-which any of these would be-your time and work ought to reflect that effort. Absolutely this book is a must-have!

Beautiful, heirloom-quality projects, April 26 2012

I bought this book specifically to stitch the set of six "Byzantine Christmas Ornaments," and, as always, Ms. Wentzler has put together a wonderful book of high-quality cross stitch projects. Each of these patterns is ornate, embellished, and beautiful! I will be making the "Christmas Wreath" this year, because it looks too gorgeous not to try.
This book should be a must-have for every serious needle artist. Teresa Wentzler's work is miles above any other designer.
The only reason I am giving this book only four stars, though, is because for projects as intricate as these, color patterns would really be helpful. The patterns get a bit busy in black-and-white, and if my twenty-seven-year-old eyes get tired trying to sort through tiny grids of monochrome symbols, I can only imagine how much more difficult it might be for some other avid cross stitchers.
