At Pennsic I was convinced to go to an Athena's Thimble guild meeting and panel a counted cross stitch Tyger's Cub I was working on. I've done cross stitch since I was young so it wasn't a huge deal for me. My first "official" project was handed to me while a bunch of people were over my place watching football. It was to embroider a rose for a small cloak for Princess Caoilfhionn's (soon to be Queen Caoilfhionn II) at coronation.
Once I got over the "I'm making something for the queeeeeeeeeeeen" panic, I sat down and did it. It's very simple and took inspiration from Anastasia de Monte's embroidered rose for the same cloak with keeping it simple. I learned the reverse chain stitch for this and learned "back stitch" was actually the right name for my straight lines.
