Queen’s Pennsic Pouches Project 2005

Coordinated by Mistress Isela di Bari OP OL — this was a special project for the Queen’s Gift Chest that was begun about five years ago.

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.

The Queen’s Rose pouches were so well received, that this project was continued. One pouch for each of the 18 kingdoms in the SCA were needleworked and presented to Their Majesties at June Crown in 2005; they in turn presented them to each of the Kingdoms’ Queens when they traveled to Pennsic in August.

All needleworkers used the embroidery technique of their choice. 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 and have details on your technique and/or materials, please contact the Web Minister, see below.]
