Guides for Rebecca Wood Canvases

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, NY is having a Rebecca Wood trunk show, so their May newsletter shows off plenty of Rebecca's designs.  The shop tells you which project was stitched using a guide and who wrote the guide, which is very useful if you are seeking a guide for one of Rebecca's designs and want to know what it will look like stitched.  Guides listed are by Sherry Bray, Amy Bunger, Terry Christopher Castillo, and Tony Minieri.  A lot of the photos are of stitched projects but not all.  Still, it's useful to have a source to look up available guides.  If a photo of a stitched project doesn't list a stitch guide writer, a customer of Stitch by Stitch worked without a guide.
