A gift for Baron Wilhelm & Baroness Elizabeth upon their stepping down as Baron & Baroness of Darkwood.
Given to them at Twelfth Night 2003.
I wanted to depict some events from their reign:
- Their Arms
- they are both Pelicans
- they are both archers
- they built the infamous Darkwood Castle
- He is a knight of the KSCA
- the annual Masked Ball in her Honour
- an outline of her Blue Rose
- the Baroness is well known for her embroidery
- the well-known Darkwood Oak tree
- their shade tent where all are welcome
- and I even remembered the infamous "sheep" stories
For the stitches, I used: running back stitching, chain stitch and satin stitch. The border is a German border done all in cross stitch.
