Queen’s Pennsic Pouches Project 2001-2002

Coordinated by Mistress Isela di Bari OP OL — this was a special project for the Queen’s Gift Chest that was begun in 2001.
Each pouch displays the “Royal Rose” of that Kingdom and has been embroidered with much care, skill and artistry.

The Guild started with a request for 16 pouches to be needleworked and presented to Their Majesties of the Kingdom of the West in 2001. Each pouch represented one of the 16 kingdoms in the SCA. Their Majesties were able to present these pouches to each of the respective Queens in those kingdoms when they ventured to Pennsic in 2001 and again in 2002.

Needless to say, we received offers from more than 20 needleworkers to create a pouch. With only 16 kingdoms, the guild decided to double up on some of the kingdoms so that they could be saved for Pennsic 2002 and showcase even more of our needleworkers. The rose design was available in both a charted and non-charted form and all needleworkers used the embroidery technique of their choice.

All of pouches have been completed. Each is done in different techniques, but is definitely well stitched. We hope that you enjoy seeing the work of your fellow needleworkers and find them inspirational for your own work. [ Note: if you were one of the needleworkers on this project & have details on your technique and/or materials, please contact the Web Minister.]

Technique: Shaded satin stitch for the petals in three colors of cotton floss. The petals were then outlined in stem stitch in the third red. Also satin stitched leaves in 2 contrasting greens. Using shading on the leaves and petals achieved a dimensional effect. The center of the rose was done in French knots of deep golden yellow floss to add texture to the piece. The background fabric is a golden-yellow textured jaquard weave.
Materials: red, green, and yellow cotton floss on gold-colored textured damask
