[Moo] Embroidery patterns for baronial gift baskets (was Re: Items needed for Ice Castles)

[Karen]

If you'd like to embroider gifts (such as pouches, pincushions, book-covers, etc.) for the investiture gift baskets, here are cross stitch patterns for most of the baronies' populace badges:

(I notice this list is missing Lochmere's populace badge -- I suspect their populace badge may be "A crab within and conjoined to an annulet azure," which basically means a blue crab kind of inside-and-just-touching-on-the-edge a blue ring.  You could use the pattern at http://hobbyloco.com/needle/crabc.gif for the crab, but using blue -- Lochmere blue seems to be close to DMC 336 -- and then stitch a circle around the crab.)

The Atlantian Embroiderers' Guild also offers instructions for making small embroidered gifts, for which these sorts of populace badge patterns might be eminently suitable:
