Queens' Royal Rose Pouch Project

The Guild started with a request for 16 pouches to be needleworked and presented to Their Majesties of the Kingdom of the West, some in 2001 and others in 2002. 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. Photos of these pouches may be viewed here.

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 this year; they in turn will present them to each of the Kingdoms' Queens when they travel to Pennsic in August.

Most of the pouches for 2005 have been completed; the remaining pouches will be photographed and added here when they are complete. Again, 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 & have details on your technique and/or materials, please contact the Web Minister, see below.]
