#30,31,32: Three Baroness’s Favours

11
The Baroness of Aneala needed three Favours for the Baronial Guardsmen, so I offered to make them for her.

They are based on the arms of Aneala and feature the sun setting over the sea, with crossed sword, rapier and arrow in the top section.

Worked in split stitch in two strands of silk on 32 count evenweave linen.

I’d normally use finer linen and one strand of silk, but these favours generally hang off a fighter’s belt, get bashed, hit and rained on, so they needed to be sturdy!
