Just So you Know 
Kaisa Nykänen
/ October 5, 2012Dear Stasha
Could you please advice me , where to find those TW seasonal carousell horses patterns. I just love them. It seems like these are discontinued. I adore your sitichings, they are awsome.
Best wishes
Kaisa from Finland

/ October 8, 2012They were published by Leisure Arts individually and as a collection. Sometimes they come up for sale on eBay. You can post a request on the Bulletin Board linked off at TWDesignworks.com
Winter Carousel Horse is still in print as part of the Best of Teresa Wentzler Christmas Designs book.

/ September 28, 2014Nice blog. I may work on a By Vapapuruu (it is not mine) but I don’t know how it works. Do you know where I can find the manual instruction for a beginner.
shondratasha
/ September 28, 2014I haven’t seen any manuals the best bet is to learn from someone

/ January 23, 2015Have you done Enchanting Lair Firedance? Did you have problems with the chart and floss legend? I am having huge problems with these and would appreciate any advice you can provide.
shondratasha
/ January 23, 2015I have stitched Firedance. I converted it to Anchor floss and I don’t remember having any issues with the legend. If you want to do a Skype call I would be happy to help you figure out where you’re stuck.

/ March 20, 2022Hi there
Do you have a copy of Tracery Dragons you would be willing to sell?
shondratasha
/ August 7, 2022Nope, when I finish it, I may sell it but given my track record on Fortunate Traveller, that’s a decade away.
