Title: Needlepoint Picture
Post by: smline on April 16, 2013, 08:07:49 AM: Im not sure of the value of this piece. It is a beautiful piece of art that obviously took some time! I have had this for 20 years or better!
There's a tag on back that says Handmade by Terri Walker, it's approx. 42" L X 21 " H... Anyone have any info?Thanks a million!

Post by: bigwull on April 16, 2013, 11:52:51 AM: Not so very Modern... :D...[ 2 syll. ter-ri, te-rri ] The baby boy name Terri is also used as a girl name, with the latter form being much more common. Its pronunciation is TEY-R-iy- †. Terri is largely used in the English language, and its origin is Latin and Old French
