Rose Pouches for Our Western Queens

For several years now we have been presenting each out going Queen with a Rose Pouch in our Kingdom’s colors (red rose, green leaves, gold center/seeded, on a gold background) at Beltane, Purgatorio, and 12th Night.

Our Queens have been very appreciative of this, especially when they see the wonderful largesse projects that go to the other Kingdom’s at Pennsic.

The project is similar to the previous Rose Pouch project – a pouch with a five-petal Tudor rose design. The embroidered portion is approximately 6″x6″ and the overall pouch a couple inches larger. You have the choice of embroidery technique. A basic design and basic chart is available here or from the Yahoo Groups files . The background should be gold, the rose red, the leaves green, and the center gold. The Guild will supply materials upon request.

Instructions: WKNRose Pouch

Sign-ups: Since we don’t know who will be Queen, sign-ups are for a specific delivery date. Deadline is always 1 Crown event in advance of the presentation (Eg. March Crown for Beltane). If you get the project done in advance, your piece may be used earlier than the date specified if someone else misses their deadline. However, please endeavor to be early for our peace of mind. You may email Sabrina de la Bere or sign-up at any Crown event.
