Teresa Wentzler
Nationality	American
Occupation	Artist and cross-stitch designer

Teresa Wentzler is an American artist and cross-stitch designer known primarily for her fantasy-inspired designs.^[1]

Wentzler self-publishes her work through her Montoursville, Pennsylvania-based TW Designworks business (launched in late 1998), although many of her earlier cross-stitch designs are available through Leisure Arts, Inc. The Janlynn Corporation has manufactured her designs in kit form for several years. Before self publishing, she was a regular contributor to Just CrossStitch magazine. She has also sold prints of pen and ink fantasy designs.

Wentzler attended Hughesville Junior Senior High School and also participated in the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts program. She started to design for cross stitch whilst attending a community college. She submitted the photos to a design scouting firm and quickly placed designs in Just CrossStitch.

She has experimented with numerous techniques in her work. Her cross-stitch designs are noted to be among the most detailed and challenging available, incorporating numerous blended threads, fractional stitches, and specialty stitches.^{[citation needed]} Her "hallmark" designs are large in size with ornate borders. She has also designed several pieces for wool-cross, or "Victorian Cross Stitch", which use wool and canvas. As well as fantasy subjects, her designs include ones based on mediaeval themes.^[2]

Wentzler has an international fan base participating on a discussion board which has been active since the mid-1990s.^{[citation needed]}
