[MR] Many Thanks to an Army of Embroiderers and Seamstresses

[Glynis Gwynedd]

Lady Katarzyna,

I think I speak for all of us when I say that you are most welcome for
the help. Indeed, it took an army of Atlantians to do those favors.
For those who might not know, each reign several hundred favors are
needed for the Queen of Atlantia - and during a Pennsic reign such as
this was, even more are needed. I believe I was told that 600 favors
were needed.

This reign's favors took roughly 25 minutes each to embroider on our
machines (due to the complex nature of the design), and then the
tireless hands of the seamstresses took over from there. Roughly 10
favors could be embroidered in a 5 hour evening, and then the sewing
was done. I confess that I don't know how long the sewing took as my
machine was involved in the embroidery and decided to stop behaving.

It takes many hands to do these things, and I encourage each Atlantian
to step forward to help with the Queen's favors when next the call
goes out.

courtesies as befits the quality of his character, else the world
shall think him nothing but a knuckle-dragging troglodyte in
vambraces." -Lady Swannoc
"This statement presupposes that a chivalrous man is a man with
martial training. Then should a courtier skilled in the arts and
sciences know something of the martial arts else the world could think
him nothing but a poncy perfumed fop in lace." - Gaston de M. GD, AT,
