I was convinced to help out with the laurel coat for Cassandra Grey's elevation since it was sold to me as a "small embroidery project". Well..that and I couldn't say no. :)
Duchess Aikaterine spearheaded this project of a coat fitting for a middle class Elizabethan woman that incorporated Cassandra's compass rose design. Each person would be given a kit to work on and they would later be appliqued onto the coat.

I learned SO MUCH doing the embroidery for this like:
- Metal thread is a pain
- Couching!
- Beading
- How to be sneaky with a group of 10+ people
The finished coat was paneled for Athena's Thimble and we were given competency for Free Embroidery, Applique, and Metalwork.
Some last minute finishing work was done the day off by the group right before the panel and before court. Epic teamwork by all!

I will post a picture of my individual star at a later date. This is one I didn't get a chance to do progress pictures of. On the plus side, everyone signed their names into the embroidery so we could keep track of them. Photos to come!
