West Kingdom Needleworker's Guild
Pennsic 2006 Project

The 2006 project is needlecases with the rose of each Queen.
I selected Ansteorra.

Ansteorran Rose
needlecase1
4 pages of wool on interior
Size of Needlecase: 4" wide x 4.5" high

The booklet was made on a linen ground with silk floss.
The interior of each petal and the star is done in 4-strand split stitch.
The outline of each petal is 6-strand stem stitch, with a 4-strand whip of contrasting color.
The leaves are outlined in 4-strand chain stitch, and filled with 4-strand split stitch.
The interior pages are felted wool, stitched in with a running stitch & blanket stitch.

Total time in project: about 50 hours? Don't know, really... I did it over about 3 weeks of time.
