“Off with their heads!” “Let them eat cake!” “Bow down!” “Kiss the ring!”
These queens will be obeyed by the entire kingdom!
The Queen of Hearts hold a rose stitched in red, of course. She is crowned with a beautiful tiara dripping with beads, as is her stunning gown.
The Queen of Spades also hold a rose stitched in beautiful burgundy. She has a fantastic feather head piece along with a masquerade mask.
The Queen of Diamonds features a stunning crown with diamond detail. The Queen of Clubs also has a royal crown full of beaded detail. Each are holding court over her subjects with a bejeweled scepter.
You now have a full court of lovely, powerful and wise rulers!
Stitch Count on both of these is 130 x 189. That makes the design size, on 32 count, about 8-1/8" x 11-7/8", making them a nice size when finished.
What fabric would you do this on? White is always a good choice-- playing cards are usually white, right? But you could even jazz them up a bit and stitch them on White Opalescent.
But look how amazing these Gray, Purple or Blue Hand - Dyed Fabrics would look. (To order fabric, call (435) 755-0486.)
Now each queen can be stitched as pictured, or you can stitch them as two separate cards. So when done you could have 4 beautiful Royal Game Queens.
